Frisk Etymological English

Grammatical information: f.
Meaning: καλαμίνθη. Βοιωτοί H., καιετας (without accent, Apollon. Lex. s. v. κητώεσσαν), gen. pl. καιατῶν (Anon. Lond. 36, 57). Also καίατα(ς).
Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]
Etymology: - Derived from καίω because of the burning taste (Fraenkel Nom. ag. 1, 62 A. 2; cf. Bechtel Dial. 1, 306). Rather Pre-Greek, like the foregoing word, though I don't see any direct connection between the two words.
