Frisk Etymological English

Grammatical information: adj.
Meaning: πεσόν. Κρῆτες H.
Origin: XX [etym. unknown]
Etymology: Deriving the word from a verb *βάκω, Aor. *ἔβακον (Bechtel Dial. 2, 782), which is unknown, is without value. Connecting βάκτρον (stick! s. βακτηρία) is improbable. So is βάκται ἰσχυροί H. Completely unknown. - Cf. ἀβακής.
