Frisk Etymological English

-ύος
Grammatical information: f.
Meaning: hips, loin(s) (IA.).
Other forms: Hdn. Gr.; codd. often -ύς.
Compounds: As 1. element a.o. in ὀσφυ-αλγής (A.Fr. 361 = 111 M., Hp.) suffering from a hip-disease (lumbago) with -έω, -ία (Hp.);
Derivatives: Dimin. ὀσφύδιον n. (Theognost.).
Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]
Etymology: Unexplained; for the formation cf. ἰξύς (Strömberg Wortstud. 67), νηδύς a.o. Mostly, but without serious argument (Benveniste Origines 7), connected with ὀστ-έον assuming diff. second members: φυ- in ἔ-φυ-ν etc. (Kretschmer KZ 31, 332); to σφυ- in σφυδῶν ἰσχυρός ... H. (Persson Beitr. 1, 415 a. 2, 717; doubting). Other, also unconvincing hypotheses in Bq s.v., W.-Hofmann s. os, WP. 1, 175, Pok. 783, Schwyzer 302; also Prellwitz s.v. (to ψόαι (s.v.), ψύαι loinmuscles; thus Grošelj Živa Ant. 7, 44). Initial ὀ- prothetic acc. to Meillet BSL 27, 131 (because of the circumflex). - Furnée 375 adduces further φύς = ὀσφύς (AB 1096), with Dorian loss of initial σ- before φ. He also accepts (393) the connection with ψύαι, which is too obvious to be discarded. The word, then, is clearly Pre-Greek.

Etymology : Unerklärt; zur Bildung vgl. ἰξύς (Strömberg Wortstud. 67), νηδύς u.a. Gewöhnlich, aber ohne eigentlichen Grund (Benveniste Origines 7), mit ὀστέον verbunden unter Annahme verschiedener Hinterglieder: φυ- in ἔφυν usw. (Kretschmer KZ 31, 332); zu σφυ- in σφυδῶν· ἰσχυρός ... H. u.a. (Persson Beitr. 1, 415 u. 2, 717; zögernd). Andere, ebenfalls unbefriedigende Hypothesen bei Bq s.v., W.-Hofmann s. os, WP. 1, 175, Pok. 783, Schwyzer 302; auch Prellwitz s.v. (zu ψόαι, ψύαι Lendenmuskeln; ebenso mit neuer Etymologie Grošelj Živa Ant. 7, 44). Anl. ὀ-prothet. nach Meillet BSL 27, 131 (wegen des Zirkumflexes).
