Frisk Etymological English

Grammatical information: adj.
Meaning: surname of Apollon (Α 75, Hes. Sc. 100, h. Ap. 157; always in gen. -έταο);
Other forms: after it ἑκατηβελέτις (Theol. Ar.).
Origin: GR [a formation built with Greek elements]
Etymology: Either from βάλλω (s. v.) or (better) for *ἑκατη-βελής with enlarging -της as in αἰει-γενέτης for *αἰει-γενής etc. after ἀκαλα-ρρεϜέ-της (> ἀκαλαρρείτης), νεφελ-ηγερέ-τα etc., cf. Schwyzer 451f. A compound with βάλλω is in any case the synonymous ἑκατη-βόλος, Dor. -α- (Il.). Already by the ancients compared with ἑκη-βόλος and interpreted as hitting from afar or as with hundred shots explained. Against the latter, which was proposed by Wackernagel IF 45, 314ff. (= Kl. Schr. 2, 1254ff.) (he translated: hundreds hitting), must be objected, that one would expect as 1. member ἑκατομ-, cf. the old word ἑκατόμ-βη. The attractive connection with ἑκη-βόλος suggests that ἑκατη-βελέτης, -βόλος are metrically lengthened "Streckformen", perh. adapted to ἑκατόν. ἑκατη-βόλος could be a cross of ἑκη-βόλος and Apollons epithet Ε῝κατος (Il.) (cf. z. B. Ἴφι-τος for Ίφι-κράτης, -κλῆς a. o.). (Wrong Bechtel Lex. s. v.) - After v. Wilamowitz Glaube 1, 325 Ε῝κατος, Ἐκάτη are from an Anatolian language and by the Greeks adapted to ἑκατηβόλος, ἑκηβόλος; but ἑκά-εργος is certainly Greek. - Further Schwyzer 439 n. 8, and Kretschmer Glotta 18, 235f.
