ἀπάτη: Difference between revisions

|etymtx=Grammatical information: f.<br />Meaning: [[fraud]], [[deceit]] (Il.); on the meaning s. Luther "Wahrheit" und "Lüge", esp. 97ff.<br />Derivatives: [[ἀπατηλός]] [[betrügerisch]] (Il.), perhaps from [[ἀπατάω]] (Chantr. Form. 241f.), with the metrical variant [[ἀπατήλιος]] (Od.). - Denom. [[ἀπατάω]] [[deceive]] (Il.).<br />Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]<br />Etymology: Unknown. Kuiper (Glotta 21, 283) connected [[ἠπεροπεύς]] explaining [[ἀπάτη]] < <b class="b3">*ἀπν̥-τα</b> from an <b class="b2">r-n-</b>stem <b class="b3">*ἄπαρ</b>, <b class="b3">*ἀπνός</b>. His further connection of [[ἰάπτω]], [[ἴπτομαι]] is less convincing. Improbable is connection with [[πόντος]], [[πάτος]], Goth. [[finÞan]] (Pedersen Cinq. décl. lat. 65 A. 1, Moorhouse Class. Quart. 35, 93ff.). Wrong vW. Fur. 234f connected [[ἄτη]] < <b class="b3">*ἀϜα-τη</b>, with substr. variation [[π]]\/F, which is at best possible. Attractive is his comparison with <b class="b3">ἀπαφ-εῖν</b> (for which the variant <b class="b3">ἀποφ-εῖν</b> shows substr. origins; [[sub verbo|s.v.]] [[ἀπαφίσκω]]), which has exactly the same meaning. If <b class="b3">ἠπερ-οπ-εύω</b> is cognate, note the suffix <b class="b3">-οπ-</b> which is also a substr. element (Beekes Glotta 73 (1995\/6) 18-25).
