Frisk Etymological English
Grammatical information: adj.
Meaning: Ε 876 ἀήσυλα ἔργα (hapax).
Other forms: αἰήσυλον ἄνομον, κακοποιόν H.
Origin: XX [etym. unknown] PGX [probably a word of Pre-Greek origin] [probably a word of Pre-Greek origin]
Etymology: One proposes alteration of αἴσυλος unseemly, evil (αἴσυλα ῥέζειν Ε 403 etc.) (after ἄημι?, ἀήσυρος?). Otherwise Bechtel Lex., Brugmann Sächs. Ber. 1901, 94. Fraenkel Gl. 34, 1955, 307ff proposes *α(Ϝ)ισσυλα, from ἶσος; very doubtful. Fur. 253 points to the gloss with αι-, which implies a substr. word (he connects ἄητος, which may have a variant αἴητος).
Middle Liddell
