|etymtx=Grammatical information: adj.<br />Meaning: [[swift]], [[eager]] (Il., h. Merc. 225, Ar. Th. 957 [lyr.], A. R.), adjunct of <b class="b3">πόδες</b>, of <b class="b3">γένυες</b> (Pi. P. 12, 20); adv. <b class="b3">καρπαλίμως</b> (Il.).<br />Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]<br />Etymology: On the formation Arbenz Die Adj. auf <b class="b3">-ιμος</b> 28f. - Unknown. By Schrader KZ 30, 473 as "handy" connected with <b class="b3">καρπός</b> [[root of the hand]] with further connection with OHG [[hwerban]] [[turn]] etc., s. 2. <b class="b3">καρπός</b>. Solmsen KZ 30, 602 does not connect <b class="b3">καρπός</b>, and starts directly from the meaning [[turn]]. Others, e. g. L. Meyer and Bechtel (s. Lex. s. v.), see the basis in <b class="b3">κάλπη</b> [[trot]] (with dissimilation). A first syllable <b class="b3">καρπ-</b> can hardly be of IE origin.
