ἀρήγω

Ancient Greek

Etymology

According to Beekes, from a Proto-Indo-European *h₂reh₁ǵ- (“to help, support”). Cognates include Proto-Germanic *rōkijaną (“to take care of”).

Latin regō (“to rule, govern”), Ancient Greek ὀρέγω (orégō, “to reach, stretch out”) derive instead from the apparently-unrelated Proto-Indo-European *h₃reǵ- (“to straighten”).[1]
