ἐγγαροῦντες

Frisk Etymological English

Grammatical information: v.
Meaning: meaning uncertain (Inscr. Olymp. 335).
Origin: XX [etym. unknown]. LW [loanword]X[probably] Iran.
Etymology: Acc. to Dittenberger = ἐπιδημοῦντες, as denominative of *ἔγγαρος = ἔγγειος; thus Schwyzer 482. Bechtel Gött. Nachr. 1920, 247f. wants to identify -γαρος with Ion. (Att.) γεηρός (earthly). DELG understands transporting and supposes it could be from the verb ἐγγαρεύω with Ernaut-Hatzfeld, R. Ét. Anc. 14 (1912) 279-82.
