Frisk Etymological English

βηχός
Grammatical information: m. f.
Meaning: coughing (Th.).
Other forms: also βηκός, s. Schulze Kl. Schr. 703)
Derivatives: Demin. βηχίον, also a plant colts-foot, (Hustenkraut), Tussilago farfara, as medicine against coughing (Lehmann KZ 41, 94, Strömberg Pflanzennamen 8 5f.). Denomin. βήσσω, βήξω, ἔβηξα.
Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]
Etymology: The root noun βήξ denotes the illness as active (though not necessarily as a demon, Radermacher WienAkSb 202, 1 S. 10 A. 2). Fur. 128 notes βήκιον and πήχιον as variants and concludes (hard to escape) to Pre-Gr.; hardly IE (Eng. cough) with Pisani Arch. glott. it 53 (1968) 63f. Ultimately onomatopoetic?.

Middle Liddell

βήσσω
a cough, Thuc.

Greek Monotonic

βήξ: βηχός, ὁ και ἡ (βήσσω), βήχας, βήξιμο, σε Θουκ.

Greek (Liddell-Scott)

βήξ: βηχός, (βήσσω) κ. βήχας· τὸ γένος ἀβέβαιον ἐν Ἱππ. Προγν. 41, Ἀφ. 1247· ἀρσεν. παρὰ Θουκ. 2. 49· θηλ. παρὰ Φρυν. Κωμ. ἐν Ἀδήλ. 6, Ἀριστ. Ψυχ. 2. 8, 11, Θεοφρ. Ἱστ. Φ. 3. 18, 3.

Frisk Etymology German

βήξ: βηχός
{bḗks}
Forms: (auch βηκός, s. Schulze Kl. Schr. 703)
Grammar: m. f.
Meaning: Husten (ion. att.).
Derivative: Ableitungen: Deminutivum βηχίον, auch Pflanzenname Hustenkraut, Tussilago farfara (Lehnübersetzung), als Heilmittel gegen Husten (Lehmann KZ 41, 94, Strömberg Pflanzennamen 8 5f.); in derselben Bedeutung auch βηχικόν (Paul. Aeg.). βηχία(ς), -ίαι Heiserkeit (Nikomach. Math., Menipp.). — βηχώδης und βηχικός (Mediz.). — Denominativum βήσσω, Aor. βῆξαι Husten (ion. att.) mit βῆγμα (Hp.).
Etymology: Wie mehrere andere Krankheitsbezeichnungen stellt auch das Wurzelnomen βήξ als Nomen agentis das Leiden als eine lebendige Macht dar (ohne daß man es sich darum mit Radermacher WienAkSb 202, 1 S. 10 A. 2 als einen "Hustendämon" vorzustellen braucht). An und für sich kann βήξ auch postverbal zu βήσσω sein. — Herkunft unbekannt, vielleicht ursprünglich onomatopoetisch.
