σφεδανός
Ancient Greek
Etymology
From a root σφεδ- (sphed-) + the suffix -ανός (-anós) shared also with ἐδανός (edanós), ἰδανός (idanós), σκεπανός (skepanós), and στεγανός (steganós). Together with the related term σφοδρός (sphodrós, “violent”), σφεδανός (sphedanós) may reflect a heteroclitic "r/n" stem, but this is uncertain. Compare perhaps σφαδᾴζω (sphadāízō, “to be strongly moved or excited”) and σφενδόνη (sphendónē, “sling”).[1]
