φάκελος
Ancient Greek
Alternative forms
- φάκελλος (phákellos)
Etymology
The term has been connected to Latin fascis, though this comparison is rejected by de Vaan.[1] Beekes points out a variant φάκελλος (phákellos) in Aristotle, and says that this proves that this word is Pre-Greek.[2] It has also been suggested that the word is related to Albanian bashkë (“together”).[3] The suffix is reminiscent of πύελος (púelos) and σκόπελος (skópelos). Furnée further compares φάσκωλος (pháskōlos, “leathern bag”) and βάσκιοι (báskioi). Solmsen hesitatingly compared σφάκελος (sphákelos, “spasm, gangrene”), suggesting a common meaning "drawn together, tied together."
