Frisk Etymological English

Grammatical information: n.
Meaning: place of retreat, resuge (Hdt., D. H., Luc.).
Origin: XX [etym. unknown]
Etymology: Acc. to Wackernagel KZ 33, 56 f. (= Kl. Schr. 1, 735f.) from *χρησφύγε-τον, dissimilated with contraction from *χρηεσ-φ., compound wit suffix το- (cf. ἀκμό-θε-τον) from φυγεῖν and χρῆος guilt, so prop. "flying from guilt"; see Wackernagel l.c. Criticized by Kretschmer KZ 33, 273f.; cf. Brugmann IF 18, 431; Chantr. calls it more ingenious than convincing; he assumes a suffix -ετον. - The connection with κάρα head (Kretschmer KZ 31, 410, Solmsen RhM 53, 155f.) gives no convincing meaning; wrong Charpentier BB 30, 155ff. (s. Bq a. WP. 1, 486). Kapsomenos, Glotta 40 (19662) 43-50 assumes *πρησφ-, with a variant of πρεσ- = προς.

Middle Liddell
