τέραμνον

Ancient Greek

Alternative forms

τέρεμνον (téremnon)

Etymology

Connected with Proto-Indo-European *treb- (“dwelling; settlement”), a root found in Latin trabs (“beam”), Proto-Germanic *þurpą (“village”), Lithuanian trōbà (“farmhouse”). However, Beekes states that these words cannot be related, and instead draws a comparson with θερᾰ́πων (therắpōn, “servant; maid”): according to him, the alternations θ/τ (th/t) and μν/πν (mn/pn) point to a Pre-Greek origin.
