τίγρη
δρυὸς πεσούσης πᾶς ἀνὴρ ξυλεύεται → when the oak falls, everyone cuts wood | when an oak has fallen, every man gathers wood | on the fall of an oak, every man gathers wood | when an oak has fallen, every man becomes a woodcutter | one takes advantage of somebody who has lost his strength | one takes advantage of somebody who has lost his power | when the tree is fallen, every man goes to it with his hatchet
Greek Monolingual
η / τίγρις, -εως, ΝΜΑ, και τίγρης, ο και λόγιος τ. τίγρις, η, Ν, και τίγρις, ὁ, και τ. γεν. -ιος και -ιδος, Α
κοινή, σήμερα, ονομασία του μεγαλόσωμου σαρκοφάγου θηλαστικού Panthera tigris, που, σύμφωνα με τη σύγχρονη επιστημονική ταξινόμηση, ανήκει στην οικογένεια τών αιλουροειδών
νεοελλ.
1. μτφ. (για πρόσ.) άγριος, αιμοχαρής, σκληρόκαρδος
2. φρ. «τίγρης του πελάγου»
μτφ. (στον Σολωμό) ο καρχαρίας.
[ΕΤΥΜΟΛ. Ονομασία ζώου, ιρανικής προέλευσης, που έχει συνδεθεί ετυμολογικά και με τον ομώνυμο ποταμό Τίγρητα (πρβλ. αρχ. περσ. tigrā). Η άποψη ότι η λ. συνδέεται με το αβεστ. tiγri- «βέλος, οξύ άκρο» και το αρχ. περσ. tigra- «οξύς, αιχμηρός» (βλ. λ. στίζω) και η απόδοση στον ποταμό Τίγρητα της ιδιότητας του ορμητικού, του αιχμηρού (πρβλ. το σχόλιο του Στράβωνος: Τίγρις ἄμικτον φυλάσσων τὸ ῥεῦμα διὰ τὴν ὀξύτητα, ἀφ'οὗ καὶ τοὔνομα Μήδων τίγριν καλούντων τὸ τόξευμα), οφείλεται πιθ. σε παρετυμολογία. Τη λ., τέλος, δανείστηκε η Λατινική (πρβλ. tigris), από όπου και άλλες γλώσσες (πρβλ. αγγλ. tiger, γαλλ. tigre, γερμ. Tiger)].
