κλύω

Ancient Greek

Etymology

The present κλύω (klúō) is an innovation of the thematic aorist ἔκλῠον (éklŭon), which itself innovated on the older athematic aorist (as seen in κλῦτε (klûte)), from Proto-Indo-European *ḱléwt, from the root *ḱlew- (“to hear”). Related to κλέος (kléos, “fame”) and κλέω (kléō, “to make famous”). Compare Latin inclutus.
