δίψα

Ancient Greek

Alternative forms

  • δίψη (dípsē), δίψος (dípsos)

Etymology

According to Beekes, probably from Pre-Greek, based on an analysis δίπ-σα (díp-sa) lacking clear semantic and morphological correspondences in other Indo-European branches, as well as the existence of variants with φ and β.[1]
