ἀμαρύσσω

Ancient Greek

Etymology

See μαρμαίρω (marmaírō, “to sparkle, glisten”). Beekes prefers to ascribe it to a Pre-Greek substrate.[1] The philologist Edward Ross Wharton, writing in the 19th-century, suggested that the term may derive from earlier *ἀμαρύχ-jω (*amarúkh-jō), and may relate to Irish márach and Gothic maurgins.[2] It has otherwise been related to Lithuanian mérkti (“to close one's eyes”), though Beekes considers this impossible.[1]
