French (Bailly abrégé)

ης (ἡ) :
murex, coquillage donnant la pourpre.
Étymologie: mot pê emprunté.

Greek Monolingual

η (Α κάλχη και χάλκη και χάλχη)
ο κοχλίας ή ο έλικας του ιωνικού κιονοκράνου
αρχ.
1. ο κοχλίας της πορφύρας, το κοχλιοειδές μαλάκιο πορφύρα
2. η πορφύρα, η πορφυρή βαφή που βγαίνει από το μαλάκιο πορφύρα
3. το φυτό χρυσάνθεμο το στεφανωματικό που έχει πορφυρό χρώμα
4. (κατά τον φιλόλ. Bockh) στον πληθ. κάλχαι ή χάλκαι
ο γλυπτικός διάκοσμος που υπάρχει στο ανώτατο μέρος του επιστυλίου του Ερεχθείου.
[ΕΤΥΜΟΛ. Δάνεια λ. άγνωστης προελεύσεως. Η σύνδεση του τ. με το κύριο όν. Κάλχας είναι ατεκμηρίωτη. Οι τ. χάλκη και χάλχη αποτελούν άλλες γραφές του τ. κάλχη: ο πρώτος ερμηνεύεται με μετάθεση του δασέος (-χ-), ενώ ο δεύτερος είναι προϊόν συμφυρμού τών κάλχη και χάλκη.

Greek Monotonic

κάλχη: ἡ, βυσσινί πεταλίδα.

Frisk Etymological English

Grammatical information: f.
Meaning: murex, purple flower, Chrysanthemum coronarium (Alcm., Nic., Str.), metaph. as building term rosette of a capital (Att., hell., inscr.).
Other forms: with replacement of aspiration χάλκη (Meisterhans3 103f.), also (through mix) χάλχη
Derivatives: - Denomin. verb καλχαίνω, prop. in med. be purple (Nic. Th. 641), metaphor. trans. ponder deeply (ἔπος, S. Ant. 20), intr. be unquiet, excited (E. Herakl. 40), long for (Lyc. 1457).
Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]
Etymology: - The meaning ponder, be excited, may have arisen after πορφύρα : πορφύρω, which were connected with each other. The comparison with OE gealg sad, dark (Holthausen IF 20, 322; WP. 1, 540) is unnecessary. - Whether also the name of the seer Κάλχας as "the toiler" belongs here (Carnoy Les ét. class. 24, 102), is quite uncertain. On Κάλχας, -αντος and Καλχα-δών also Kretschmer Glotta 14, 100. Loan of unknown origin (Kretschmer Einleitung 167 n. 3).
