Κινδυνεύουσι γὰρ ὅσοι τυγχάνουσιν ὀρθῶς ἁπτόμενοι φιλοσοφίας λεληθέναι τοὺς ἄλλους ὅτι οὐδὲν ἄλλο αὐτοὶ ἐπιτηδεύουσιν ἢ ἀποθνῄσκειν τε καὶ τεθνάναι → Actually, the rest of us probably haven't realized that those who manage to pursue philosophy as it should be pursued are practicing nothing else but dying and being dead (Socrates via Plato, Phaedo 64a.5)

of uncertain affinity; the loin (externally), i.e. the hip; internally (by extension) procreative power: loin.
Frisk Etymological English
-ύος
Grammatical information: f.
Meaning: hips, loin(s) (IA.).
Other forms: Hdn. Gr.; codd. often -ύς.
Compounds: As 1. element a.o. in ὀσφυ-αλγής (A.Fr. 361 = 111 M., Hp.) suffering from a hip-disease (lumbago) with -έω, -ία (Hp.);
Derivatives: Dimin. ὀσφύδιον n. (Theognost.).
Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]
Etymology: Unexplained; for the formation cf. ἰξύς (Strömberg Wortstud. 67), νηδύς a.o. Mostly, but without serious argument (Benveniste Origines 7), connected with ὀστ-έον assuming diff. second members: φυ- in ἔ-φυ-ν etc. (Kretschmer KZ 31, 332); to σφυ- in σφυδῶν ἰσχυρός ... H.

(to ψόαι (s.v.), ψύαι loinmuscles; thus Grošelj Živa Ant. 7, 44). Initial ὀ- prothetic acc. to Meillet BSL 27, 131 (because of the circumflex). - Furnée 375 adduces further φύς = ὀσφύς (AB 1096), with Dorian loss of initial σ- before φ. He also accepts (393) the connection with ψύαι, which is too obvious to be discarded. The word, then, is clearly Pre-Greek.
