λαγαρός

Ancient Greek

Etymology

Generally derived from Proto-Indo-European *(s)leh₁g- (“weak, faint”) and compared with λαγαίω (lagaíō, “to release”), λάγνος (lágnos, “lascivious”), λαγών (lagṓn, “flank”), λήγω (lḗgō, “to stop, cease”) and λωγάνιον (lōgánion, “dewlap of oxen”) within Greek. Other Indo-European cognates are Latin laxus (“loose”), English slack, Tocharian A slākkär (“sad”) and Sanskrit श्लक्ष्ण (ślakṣṇa, “tender, soft”).
