Origin: XX [etym. unknown]

Frisk Etymology German

ἀάνθα: {aántha}
Meaning: εἶδος ἐνωτίου παρὰ Ἀλκμᾶνι ὡς Ἀριστοφάνης H.
Etymology : Nach Schulze Q. 38 als *αὐσανθα zu οὖς, was vor allem wegen der unklaren Bildung (vgl. οἰνάνθη; oder zu ἄνθος?? Chantraine Formation 369) sehr zweifelhaft ist. Vgl. auch Bechtel Dial. 2, 366.
