Grammatical information: m. f.

Compounds: As 1. member a.o. in στρουθο-κάμηλος m. ostrich (D.S., Str. a.o.; Risch IF 59, 57 a. 268).
Derivatives: 1. Dimin. στρουθ-ίον, -ίς, -άριον (Arist., hell. a. late). 2. -ίας m. lecher (Com. Adesp.). 3. -ίων m. = -ός (late; Chantraine. Form. 165). 4. -ειος belonging to the ostrich (pap.), -(ε)ιον (μῆλον) kind of quince (Thphr., Nic. a.o.), also name of a plant Saponaria, soap-wort (Hp., Thphr. etc.; thus στρουθός, στρουθός -κάμηλος; on the motive of the name Strömberg Pflanzenn. 37). 5. -ινος made of soap-wort (Ath.). 6. -ώδης ostrich-like (sch.). 7. -ωτός painted, decorated with σ.

Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin] (V)
Etymology: Without certain connection. A certain similarity show the among each other changing names of the throstle: Lith. strãzdas, Russ. drozd, Germ., e.g. MHG drostel, OWNo. Þrǫstr, OHG drosca, Lat. turdus, Celt. e.g. NIr. truid starling etc. Also when we posit PGr. *στρουσ-θος (cf. ὄρνῖ-θ-?) we cannot accomodate στρουθός; τρύζω too lies rather far. -- Extensive discussion w. lit. in WP. 1, 761 f. (Pok. 1096), further also W.-Hofmann, Fraenkel and Vasmer s. vv.; new morphological analysis by Specht Ursprung 49. -- Furnée 182 posits *τρουθ-ος after the PN and from ὁειὸν τρούθ<ιον> for ᾠὸν στρούθ(ε)ιον, and *δρουθ-ος after the PN Δρουθου (gen. Telos). The variations point to a Pre-Greek word. (Note the nom. *στρουθ-ς > στροῦς.)
