νωδός

Ancient Greek

Etymology

Possibly reflects Proto-Indo-European *n̥h₃dós (“not biting”), from *h₃ed- (“bite”).

Alternatively, a back-formation from *νώδων (*nṓdōn) from νω- (nō-, “not”) +‎ ὀδών (odṓn, “tooth”) by analogy to pairs like στράβων (strábōn, “the squint-eyed person”) and στραβός (strabós, “squint-eyed”) or ψώλων (psṓlōn, “the circumcised one”) and ψωλός (psōlós, “with the prepuce drawn back”).
