διάκονος
Ancient Greek
Alternative forms
- δῐήκονος (diḗkonos) – Ionic
- δῐᾱ́κων (diā́kōn) – later
Etymology
δῐᾰ- (dia-) + Proto-Indo-European *kón-os, from *ken- (“to set oneself in motion”). The length of the ᾱ (ā) is explained by Brugmann and Boisacq as by analogy to long vowels that occurred in compounds where the second element started with a vowel.
