Greek Monolingual

μῆνιγξ, -ιγγος ἡ (Α)
βλ. μήνιγγα.

Frisk Etymological English

-ιγγος
Grammatical information: f.
Meaning: skin, cuticle, esp. cerebral membrane (Hp., Arist., Gal.), also cuticle in the eye (Emp., Arist.),'drum of the ear' (Arist.).
Compounds: As 1. member a. o. in μηνιγγο-φύλαξ m. indication of a chirurgical instrument (medic.).
Derivatives: Dimin. μηνίγγιον (gloss.); NGr. μηνιγγῖτις f. inflammation of the cerebral membrane, Fr. méningite (Redard 103 f.).
Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]
Etymology: As so many technical and popular formations in -(ι)γγ- etymolog. unclear. Since Prellwitz μῆν-ιγγξ is referred to *mē(m)s-n-, beside which μηρός < *mē(m)s-r-; the basis would be the word for flesh, IE *mē(m)s- in Skt. māṃsá-, mā́s- n. etc. (s. μηρός). On the meaning cf. some Slav. words for inner part of the skin, inner, soft skin etc., e.g. SCr. mézdra, Sloven. mę́zdra, beside Russ. myazdrá flesh on the inner part of the skin, to OCS męso, Russ. mjáso flesh (= Skt. māṃsá-; s. Vasmer s.v.). Similar Lat. membrana thin, soft skin from membrum limb of the body. - Evidently a Pre-Greek word in -ιγξ.

Frisk Etymology German

μῆνιγξ: -ιγγος
{mē̃nigks}
Grammar: f.
Meaning: Haut, Häutchen, bes. Hirnhaut (Hp., Arist., Gal. u. a.), auch Häutchen im Auge (Emp., Arist.),’Trommelfell im Ohr’ (Arist.);
Composita: als Vorderglied u. a. in μηνιγγοφύλαξ m. Bez. eines chirurgischen Instruments (Mediz.).
Derivative: Demin. μηνίγγιον (Gloss.); ngr. μηνιγγῖτις f. Hirnhautentzündung, frz. méningite (Redard 103 f.).
Etymology: Wie so viele der technischen und volkstümlichen Bildungen auf-(ι)γγ- etymologisch undurchsichtig. Seit Prellwitz wird μῆνιγγξ auf *[m]s-n- zurückgeführt, woneben μηρός aus *[m]s-r-; die Grundlage soll das Wort für Fleisch, idg. *[m]s- in aind. māṃsá-, mā́s- n. usw. sein (s. μηρός). Zur Bedeutung vgl. einige slav. Wörter für innerster Teil der Haut, innere, zarte Haut, z.B. skr. mézdra, sloven. mę́zdra, neben russ. myazdrá Fleisch auf der Innenseite des Felles, Fleischseite des Felles, zu aksl. męso, russ. mjáso Fleisch (= aind. māṃsá-; s. Vasmer s.v.). Ähnlich lat. membrana dünne, zarte Haut von membrum Körperglied. Weiteres s. μηρός.
