νόσος
Ancient Greek
Alternative forms
Etymology
Of uncertain origin. Willi's derivation from a putative Proto-Indo-European *n-h₁osu-o-s (“not good”), from *n̥- (“not, un-”) + a u-stem of the o-grade of *h₁es- (“to be”), and subsequent comparison of Hittite 𒀀𒀸𒋗𒍑 (a-aš-šu-uš, “good”), suffers from phonological irregularities.[1]
