Frisk Etymological English

Grammatical information: m. f.
Meaning: follower, shepherd (Call.).
Derivatives: Adj. ἀμορβαῖος said of χαράδραι (Nic. Th. 28, 489), meaning unclear; scholiasts render it with ποιμενικαί or σκοτεινώδεις (just guesses?); cf. EM 85, 20: ἀμορβης καὶ ἀμορβές σημαινει τὸ μεσονύκτιον παρὰ την ὄρφνην .... σημαίνει καὶ τὸν ἀκόλουθον. - ἀμορβίτης see ἀμόρα.
Origin: XX [etym. unknown]
Etymology: Unknown. See Pisani Ist. Lomb. 77, 541 (whose own explanation as *ἁμορ-β-ός, to ἁμαρ-τή (from *ἁμαρ-στη) and βῆναι is most improbable).
