δάμαρ

Ancient Greek

Alternative forms

δόμορτις (dómortis)

Etymology

Unknown. Traditionally derived from Proto-Indo-European *dṓm (“house, home”), like δόμος (dómos, “dwelling”), and the root ἀρ- in ἀραρίσκω (ararískō, “to join, fit together”). However, the word could also be of Pre-Greek origin, in view of the suffix -αρ.
