τυρός

See also: Τύρος

Ancient Greek

Etymology

    From Proto-Hellenic *tūrós (whence also Mycenaean Greek 𐀶𐀫 (tu-ro /⁠tūrós⁠/)), probably from Proto-Indo-European *tuh₂-ró-s, from *tewh₂- (“to swell”). However, compare Old English ġe-þweor (“curds”), from *(s)twerH- (“to swirl, churn”). Possibly a formation in common with Proto-Slavic *tvarogъ (“quark, whey-cheese”) and Avestan 𐬙𐬏𐬌𐬭𐬌 (tūiri), but the root and morphological details are disputed.
