English (Strong)

English (Thayer)

(ῶ; (from the unused ἀδημων, and this from the alpha privative and δῆμος; accordingly, uncomfortable, as not at home, cf. German unheimisch, unheimlich; cf. Alexander Buttmann (1873) Lexil. ii. 136 (Fishlake's trans, p. 29f. But Lob. (Pathol. Proleg., p. 238, cf., p. 160) and others connect it with ἀδήμων, ἀδῆσαι; see Lightfoot on to be troubled, distressed: Xenophon, Hell. 4,4, 3 ἀδημονῆσαι τάς ψυχάς, and often in secular authors.)

Greek Monotonic

Meaning: be unquiet, scared (Hp.);
Origin: XX [etym. unknown]
Etymology: With short ἀ- (Nic. Fr. 16) Allen Cl. Rev. 20, 5 connects δαῆναι, and Debrunner Mél. Boisacq 1, 266 assumes contraction of *ἀδαημονέω; semantically not convincing. Not to ἡδύς (Leumann Hom. Wörter 309 n. 82; cf. Bechtel Lex. s. ἀδέω, Dial. 3, 268).
