Frisk Etymological English

Grammatical information: n.
Meaning: name of several plants, e.g. nightshade, Withania somnifera (Thphr., Dsc. a.o.).
Other forms: (-ος m.), also τρύχνον n. (Nic. Th. v.l.), -ος f. (Theoc., Com. Adesp., Phot., EM).
Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]
Etymology: Unexplained. Hypothesis by H. Petersson Et. Miszellen 18ff.: from *στρύκσνος (cf. λύχνος), IE *strug-s-no- to MHG strūch, NHG Strauch, PGm. *strūka-, to which also Lith. strùgė `(Germ.) Zwenke, Brachypodium (by Fraenkel s. strùgas with Būga rejected). -- Furnée 135 etc. brilliantly saw that this is the same wod as δορύκνιον (Dsc., Plu.) = *δρυκνιον which is στρύχνον μανικόν (Ps.-Dsc.) with a sec. prop vowel; this will have been a, which was pronounced (o) before the following υ; the variation shows that the word is Pre-Greek; note the movable σ-. - This word gave the name strichnine.
