Greek (Liddell-Scott)

βάραθρον: Ἰων. Βέρεθρον (πρβλ. ζέρεθρον), συντετμημένον:

French (Bailly abrégé)

ου (τό) :
abîme, gouffre ; particul., à Athènes barathre, gouffre où l’on précipitait les condamnés (cf. à Sparte καιάδας).
Étymologie: R. Βορ, dévorer ; cf. lat. vorago.

Greek Monotonic

βάραθρον: Ιων. βέρεθρον, τό,
1. χάσμα, λάκκος, όρυγμα· λέγεται για την Αθήνα, απόκρημνος, βαθύς λάκκος, πίσω απ' την Ακρόπολη, μέσα στον οποίο γκρεμίζονταν οι εγκληματίες, σε Ηρόδ., Αριστοφ.
2. μεταφ., αφανισμός, καταστροφή, όλεθρος, απώλεια, σε Δημ. (αμφίβ. προέλ.).

Russian (Dvoretsky)

Frisk Etymological English

Grammatical information: n.
Meaning: cleft, abyss
Other forms: βέρεθρον (Hom.; Aeol. ?, Chantr. Gramm. hom. 1, 114), from which through *βέρθρον βέθρον (Euph.), Arc. ζέρεθρον (for δ-; cf. ζέλλω = δέλλω s. βάλλω)
Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]
Etymology: One would like to explain the variants from *βερα-. In that case the connection with βιβρώσκω (s. d.) devour cannot be maintained: *gʷerh₃-\/ gʷr̥h₃- would give *δερο-\/ βρω-, *βαρ(ο)-. The word therefore will be Pre-Gr., like φάραγξ; s. Beekes, Devel. 193. - Illyrian cognates in Krahe IF 58, 220.

Middle Liddell

[deriv. uncertain]
1. a gulf, pit:— at Athens a cleft behind the Acropolis, into which criminals were thrown, Hdt., Ar.
2. metaph. ruin, perdition, Dem.
