κέλαδος

Ancient Greek

Etymology

From a root κέλᾰ- (kélă-) of unclear origin + a suffix -δος (-dos) seen also in ἄραδος (árados, “disturbance”), ὅμαδος (hómados, “noise, din”), ῥοῖβδος (rhoîbdos, “rushing or whirring noise”) and χρόμαδος (khrómados, “crash, din”). Probably not related to κλητός (klētós, “called, invited”) (which is from Proto-Indo-European *kelh₁- (“to call”)), as the expected form would then be *κέλεδος (*kéledos). See also κελαρύζω (kelarúzō, “to murmur”), which has been compared.^[1]
