Frisk Etymological English

Grammatical information: f.
Meaning: white clay (Arist.)
Other forms: ἄργιλλα f. ds. (Gal.).
Dialectal forms: ἄργιλος inscr. Acarnan.
Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]
Etymology: Generally derived from 1. ἀργός, but the suffix (Chantr. Form. 249, Schwyzer 483) could be non-IE (cf. on ἄμιλλα); note λ/λλ and -ος/-α. Given the meaning, a substr. word is quite possible; connection with ἀργός is semantically (brilliant white) not evident. Lat. argilla is a loan from Greek.

Middle Liddell

ἀργός
white clay, potter's earth, Arist.
