(ἐτυμολογούμενον ἐκ τοῦ μύρω ὑπὸ τῶν ἀρχαίων ἢ κατὰ τὸν Ἀθήν. ἐκ τοῦ μύρρα, ἀλλ’ ἡ λέξ. εἶναι πιθ. ξενικὴ τὴν ἀρχήν, πρβλ. Ἑβρ. môr)· ἀκολούθως συνήθως πᾶν παρεσκευασμένον εὐῶδες ἔλαιον, βάλσαμον, Λατ. unguentum, Ἀρχίλ. 27, Ἡρόδ. 3. 22· κάκιστ’ ἀπόλοιθ’ ὁ πρῶτον ἑψήσας μύρον (πρβλ. μυρεψὸς) Ἁριστοφ. Λυσ. 946· μύρου ὄζειν ὁ αὐτ. ἐν Ἐκκλ. 524· ἐν τῷ πληθ., Αἰσχύλ. Ἀποσπ. 12· (ὁ Ὅμ. ἔχει: ἔλαιον εὐῶδες, ῥοδόεν, τεθυωμένον)· μ. κατὰ τῆς κεφαλῆς καταχέαι Πλάτ.

French (Bailly abrégé)

ου (τό) :
parfum liquide, huile ou essence parfumée.
Étymologie: DELG étym. peu sûre.

Spanish

perfume, aceite

English (Strong)

probably of foreign origin (compare מֹר, σμύρνα); "myrrh", i.e. (by implication) perfumed oil: ointment.

English (Thayer)

μύρου, τό (the grammarians derive it from μύρῳ to flow, accordingly, a flowing juice, trickling sap: but probably more correct to regard it as an oriental word akin to μύρρα, Hebrew מֹר, מור; (Fick (i. 836) connects it with the root, smar, 'to smear', with which Vanicek, 1198f associates σμύρνα, μύρτος, etc.; cf. Curtius, p. 714)), ointment: , 12; ἔλαιον (which see and see Trench, Synonyms, § xxxviii.), Aeschylus, Herodotus down); the Sept. for שֶׁמֶן, fat, oil, טוב שֶׁמֶן, Psalm 133:2>).)

Greek Monotonic

μύρον: [ῠ], τό,
1. γλυκός χυμός που εξάγεται από φυτά, γλυκό εκχύλισμα, μύρο, βάλσαμο, σε Ηρόδ. κ.λπ.
2. τόπος όπου πωλούνταν μύρα, αγορά αρωμάτων, σε Αριστοφ.

Russian (Dvoretsky)

μύρον: (ῠ) τό
1) мир(р)а или миро (благовонное растительное масло, употреблявшееся для умащиваний и для изготовления благовонных мазей) Her.;
2) благовонная мазь, благовоние (μύρα καὶ θυμιάματα Plat.; μύρου ὄζειν Arph.);
3) место торговли благовониями, рынок благовоний: ἐν τῷ μύρῳ Arph. на рынке благовоний.

Frisk Etymological English

Grammatical information: n.
Meaning: sweet-smelling oil, salve, perfume (Archil., Lesb. lyric, IA.).
Compounds: Often as 1. member, e.g. μυρο-πώλης salve-handler (Att.). μυρ-εψός m. salven-preparer (Critias, Arist.; FraenkeI Nom. ag. 2, 112 f.).
Derivatives: 1. Subst. diminut.: μυρ-ίδιον (Ar.), -άφιον (Arr.); μυρίς f. salve-box (Poll.; cf. σπυρίς), also = μυρρίς (Thphr.), s. μύρρα; μύρωμα n. = μύρον (Ar. Ek. 1117 [pl.], beside μεμύρωμαι, but perh. directly from μύρον, cf. Chantraine Form. 186 f.); μυρίνης (οἶνος, hell., com., Ael.; besides μυρρίνης, s. μύρρα a. μύρτος). -- 2. Adj. μυρ-ηρός belonging to μύρον (A., Ar.; like ἐλαιηρός), -όεις full of salves, smelling like salves (A P, Man.), -ώδης salve-like (sch.). -- 3. Verbs. μυρίζω (IA.), σμυρίζω (Archil.) salve, perfume; μυρόομαι be salved, perfumed (Ar. Ek. 1117 [v. l. μεμύρισμαι]).
Origin: XX [etym. unknown]
Etymology: As a clear culture-word μύρον can well be a loan (so Chantraine Form. 16). Since Fick and Curtius (s. Bq) it is usually (though with a certain reserve, WP. 2, 690) as IE σμύρις emery-powder connected with a Germ.-Celt. word for smear, fat etc., e.g. OHG smero Schmer, OIr. smi(u)r marrow (also Lat. medulla?); but this does not explain the Greek -u-; cf. μύραινα [which is a Pre-Greek word]. The isolated σμυρίζω anoint can, if not old, rest upon association with σμύρις, σμύρνα. --

Middle Liddell

!μύ˘ρον, ου, τό,
1. sweet juice extracted form plants, sweet-oil, unguent, balsam, Hdt., etc.
2. a place where unguents were sold, the perfume-market, Ar.
