ἄρακος

See also: -αράκος

Ancient Greek

Alternative forms

  • ἄραχος (árakhos)

Etymology

Likely of Pre-Greek substrate origin, due to the κ–χ interchange with the variant ἄραχος (árakhos), and the suffix -ιδνα (-idna) in the derivative ἀράχιδνα (arákhidna). According to Beekes, not related to Latin arinca (“kind of spelt; olyra”).[1]
