σωρός
Ancient Greek
Etymology
Probably derived from Proto-Indo-European *tewh₂- (“to swell”). Starting from Proto-Indo-European *twoh₂-ro-, Solmsen seeks connection with σῶς (sôs, “safe, healthy, intact”), also pleading against connection with σορός (sorós, “cup, recipient”). σῶμα (sôma, “body”) has also been compared.[1] See also Old Armenian թուշ (tʻuš, “cheek”), from Proto-Indo-European *tewHr- (“to swell”), which seems connected to *tewh₂- and which the Greek term may alternatively derive from.
