• Etimología: Rel. prob. c. ἀκαρής q.u.

Greek Monolingual

(-εως), το (Α ἀκαρί, το)
νεοελλ.
κάθε μέλος της υφομοταξίας Ακάρεα
αρχ.
είδος της υφομοταξίας Ακάρεα, το οποίο αναπτύσσεται μέσα σε κερί.
[ΕΤΥΜΟΛ. Η αρχαία λέξη προέρχεται πιθ. από συμφυρμό των ἀκαρὴς «μικροσκοπικός σύντομος» + κόρις «κοριός». Για την ετυμολογία της νεοελληνικής λέξης βλ. ετυμολογία λήμματος Ακάρεα].

Russian (Dvoretsky)

ἀκᾰρί: adv. Arst. = ἀκαρῆ.

Frisk Etymological English

Grammatical information: n.
Meaning: mite (Arist.)
Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]
Etymology: Fur. 371 connects κὰρνος = φθείρ (louse) H., which is quite attractive. Usually connected with ἀκαρής, q.v. DELG suggests contamination of ἀκαρής with κόρις bug. I would rather think that κὸρις is cognate, as a substr. word, with proth. vowel and α/ο.
