Dutch (Woordenboekgrieks.nl)

Frisk Etymological English

Grammatical information: n.
Meaning: tree-stump, trunk, stub, also bole, metaph. of a column etc. (h. Merc.; on the meaning Strömberg Theophrastea 98 f.).
Other forms: also -ος.
Compounds: As 2. member a.o. in αὑτό-πρεμνος together with the trunk, root and branch, entirely (A., S.).
Derivatives: πρέμνια τὰ πάχος ἔχοντα ξύλα H.; πρεμν-ώδης stump-like (Thphr.), -ίζω to pull up, to remove the stump (Test. ap. D. a.o.; ἐκ- πρέμνον D. a.o.), -ιάσαι ἐκριζῶσαι H.
Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]
Etymology: Unexplained. Uncertain or improbable hypotheses: to Celt., e.g. OIr. crann tree (Stokes in Brugmann Grundr. I 375 f.; against this WP. 1, 524); to Lat. quernus oak(en) (Pisani Ist. Lomb. 77, 561 ff.); with πρέπω (s.v.) to IE *per- beat (Grošelj Živa Ant. 6, 237f.). Still diff. Hofmann Et. Wb. s.v. (with Specht Ursprung 55).
