(Schwyzer 721). Also <b class="b3">πιάζω</b> is an innovation (after the verbs in <b class="b3">-άζω</b>; perh. also phonet. explainable; s. Schwyzer 244 w. lit., a.o. Wackernagel IF 25, 336f. = Kl.

Great semantic and phonetic similarity shows Skt. <b class="b2">pīḍáyati</b> [[squeeze]], [[press]], [[hurt]], which stands first for <b class="b2">*pizd-</b> and would give Gr. <b class="b3">*πίζω</b>. For it <b class="b3">πιέζω</b> after <b class="b3">ἕζω</b> (Schwyzer 721 n. 5)? Diff., very hard, Kuiper Acta Or. 12, 227f.: <b class="b3">πιέζω</b> from <b class="b2">*pii̯es-dō</b> as full grade of <b class="b2">*pis-d-</b> in Skt. <b class="b2">pīḍ-</b>. Further combinations hypothetic: <b class="b2">*piz-d-</b> from <b class="b2">*pis-d-</b> as <b class="b2">d-</b>enlargement of IE <b class="b2">*pis-</b> in Lat. [[pīnsō]] [[pound]], [[crush]] (Fick, Curtius a. A.; cf. [[πτίσσω]]). -- Earlier (Brugmann, Osthoff etc.; s. Bq s.v. and WP. 2, 486 [Pok. 887]) from *(<b class="b2">e)pi-sed-i̯ō</b> resp. *(<b class="b2">e)pi-zd-</b> (> <b class="b2">pīḍáyati</b>) prop. *"sit upon" = [[squeeze]] explained; against this Kuiper l.c. and Mayrhofer s.v. w. rich lit. and many details.
