ἦμαρ

Ancient Greek

From Proto-Hellenic *ā́mər (whence Mycenaean Greek 𐀀𐀗𐀨𐀔 (a-mo-ra-ma /⁠āmōr-āmar⁠/, “day after day”)), from Proto-Indo-European *Héh₂mr̥ ~ *Héh₂mōr (“heat”). Cognate with Old Armenian աւր (awr, “day”).^[1]^[2]

For the semantic shift, compare possibly the family of Proto-Germanic *dagaz.
