Σχόλ. εἰς Ἀριστοφ. Σφ. 925 (921), Α. Β. 304· (ὅτε πρέπει νὰ γράφηται σκῖρον). Ἕτεροι ἐτυμολογοῦσιν ἐκ τοῦ Σκίρος, ὃς ἦν μάντις οἰκοδομήσας ναὸν τῇ Ἀθηνᾷ ὑπὸ τὸ ὄνομα τοῦτο ἐν τῷ μέρει τῆς πόλεως τῷ καλουμένῳ Σκίρον (ἴδε σημασ. ΙΙ), Παυσ. 1. 36, 4, Πλουτ. Θησ. 17· - καὶ ἀκρωτήριον δέ τι τῆς Ἀττικῆς ἔναντι Σαλαμῖνος ἐκαλεῖτο Σκιράδιον, Πλουτ. Σόλ. 9. ΙΙ. Σκίρον, τό, ὡς τὸ Λατ. Suburra, τὸ δυσώνυμον μέρος τῆς πόλεως, ἡ συνοικία τῶν πορνείων καὶ τῶν τοιούτων, Ἀλκίφρων 3. 8, 25, Στέφ. Βυζ.

Greek Monotonic

σκίρον: [ῐ], τό, λευκή ομπρέλα που φερόταν σε πομπή από την Ακρόπολη των Αθηνών, κατά τους εορτασμούς της Αθηνάς Σκιράδος (Σκιράς), (τὰ Σκίρα), σε Πλούτ.

Frisk Etymological English

Grammatical information: n.
Meaning: des. of a white parasol or canopy, which was carried at processions from the aropolis to a place called Σκῖρον (Σκίρον) (later suburb of Athens) on the holy road to Eleusis in honour of Athena (Skiras) and other goddesses and gods (Lysimachid., sch.

Etymology: Not certainly explained. Since long (s. Curtius 168) connected with σκιά, semant. or course unproblematic. It must be then a very old, from σκιά independent formation, which formally agrees with Alb. hir grace of God (Jokl Untersuchungen 67 after Bugge) and except for the vowel-length with a Germ. adj. for clear, gleaming, bright, e.g. Goth. skeirs, OWNo. skīrr, NHG schier (to this further with other suffixes NHG Schemen silhouette, MHG scheim gleam, shade, NHG scheinen etc. etc.), basic meaning (subdued) shine, reflex (WP. 2, 535f., Pok. 917f.); cf. on σκιά. -- The interpretation of σκίρον as parasol is however by Deubner Att. Feste 40ff. rejected as a late learned construction. He sees in the σκίρα (orig. meaning unknown) different objects (pigs, representations of phalluses etc.), which at the relevant feast were thrown as sacrificial gifts in subterranean caverns, the soc. μέγαρα, and later at the Thesmophoria were brought up again (s. also Nilsson Gr.
