Frisk Etymological English
Grammatical information: f.
Meaning: a plant, Clematis vitalba (Thphr.).
Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]
Etymology: Frisk compares ἄθρας, which would fit "zu einem Schlinggewächs", but I don't see what a car has to do with it. See Strömberg Pflanzennamen 108. Fur. 288 compares ἀνδράχνη and concludes to substr. origin (prenasalization), which is anyhow prob.
