|etymtx=Grammatical information: f.<br />Meaning: [[resin]], [[fir resin]] (Hp., Arist., Thphr.), <b class="b3">ῥητινό-κηρον</b> n. [[wax dissolved in resin]] (medic.); on the neuter gender cf. [[βούτυρον]].<br />Derivatives: <b class="b3">ῥητιν-ώδης</b> [[resinous]], <b class="b3">-ίτης οἶνος</b> [[resinous wine]] (Dsc.; Redard 98), <b class="b3">-ίζω</b> [[be resinous]] (Dsc.), <b class="b3">-όομαι</b> to [[be made resinous]] (Hp., Dsc.).<br />Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]<br />Etymology: With the formations in <b class="b3">-ινος</b>, <b class="b3">-ινη</b> there are both inherited and Pre-Greek words (Chantraine Form. 204f., Schwyzer 491). No connection, prob. Pre-Greek. The comparison with Lat. [[rasis]] f. [[a kind of raw]], [[to dust pulverized pitch]], [[which was mixed with wine]] (Walde and W.-Hofmann [[sub verbo|s.v.]] as supposed LW [loanword] from <b class="b3">*ῥάσις</b>) is uncertain. -- Lat. [[rēsīna]] continues a dial. byform <b class="b3">*ῥησίνα</b> (Leumann Lat. Gr. 141). The variant in Latin shows that this is a Pre-Greek word; cf. Furnée 261.
