Frisk Etymological English

Grammatical information: adj.
Meaning: surname of Apollon (Il.), also of Artemis (Ar. Th. 972 [lyr.]).
Origin: GR [a formation built with Greek elements]
Etymology: By the ancients seen as far-protecting(?) or far-working (ἑκάς and εἴργω or ἔργον), but it is rather free-working, free-ruling [=waltend] , i.e. a bahuvrihi of *ἕκα < *Ϝέκα, adverb in (σάφα etc.) to ἑκών (s. v.), and ἔργον. - See Bechtel Lex. s. v.; s. also Schwyzer 439 n. 8. Cf. ἑκηβόλος. - ἑκα- appears ina few PN, Ἐκα-μήδη (Hom.), Ἐκά-διος (Teos) (but Ϝhεκά-δαμος (Boeot.), with Ϝεκέ-δαμος (Thess.) and Ἀκά-δημος Att. is rather Pre-Greek, s.v.; Schwyzer 226 a. 256, Lejeune Traité de phon. 208).
