Ubi idem et maximus et honestissimus amor est, aliquando praestat morte jungi, quam vita distrahi → Where indeed the greatest and most honourable love exists, it is much better to be joined by death, than separated by life.

Frisk Etymological English

Grammatical information: n.
Meaning: cave, cavern (Pl., LXX, NT a. o.).
Derivatives: σπηλαιώδης cave-like, -αΐτης m. god of caves (Paus.), -άδιον n. (Theopomp. Com.; after the dimin. in -άδιον; not -ᾳδιον; cf. Hdn. Gr. 2, 488, 12). -- Beside it σπῆλυγξ, -υγγος f. id. (Arist., Theoc., A. R. a.o.) with σπηλυγγ-ώδης (EM), -οειδής (sch.).
Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin] (V)
Etymology: Both σπήλαιον and σπῆλυγξ are clearly enlarging transformations of one and the same basic word after diff. examples: with σπῆλυγξ cf. the semantically close σῆραγξ, φάραγξ, also φάρυγξ, λάρυγξ; σπήλαιον after κατά-, ὑπό-γαιος, -ον? The basic λ-stem can be in the same relation to the σ-stem in σπέος as e.g. νεφ-έλη to νέφ-ος. Further unclear; quite doubtful hypotheses w. lit. in Bq s. v., WP. 2, 680, W.-Hofmann s. spīrō. -- Lat. LW [loanword] spēlaeum and spēlunca (s. W.-Hofmann s.v. and Rohlfs ByzZ 37, 60f.); Alb. LW [loanword] shpellë rock, cave (Pisani Jb. f. kleinas. Forsch. 3, 152). - Furnée 123 reconstructs a *σπῆλυξ. -υκος from Lat. *speluca. He further adduces πῆλυξ = ῥαγάς (H., Phot.). He also reminds of Etr. śpel(a) cave, tomb`. The word is no doubt Pre-Greek (note the prenasalization and the suffix -υγγ-).

Middle Liddell

σπήλαιον, ου, τό, σπέος
a grotto, cave, cavern, Plat.

Frisk Etymology German

σπήλαιον: {spḗlaion}
Grammar: n.
Meaning: Grotte, Höhle (Pl., LXX, NT u. a.)
Derivative: mit σπηλαιώδης grottenähnlich, -αΐτης m. Grottengott (Paus.), -άδιον n. (Theopomp. Kom.; nach den Demin. auf -άδιον; nicht -ᾴδιον; vgl. Hdn. Gr. 2, 488, 12). — Daneben σπῆλυγξ, -υγγος f. ib. (Arist., Theok., A. R. u.a.) mit σπηλυγγώδης (EM), -οειδής (Sch.).
Etymology: Sowohl σπήλαιον wie σπῆλυγξ sind offenbar erweiternde Umbildungen eines und desselben Grundwortes nach verschiedenen Vorbildern: zu σπῆλυγξ vgl. die sinnverwandten σῆραγξ, φάραγξ, auch φάρυγξ, λάρυγξ; σπήλαιον nach κατά-, ὑπόγαιος, -ον? Der zugrunde liegende λ-Stamm kann zum σ-Stamm in σπέος in ähnlicher Beziehung stehen wie z.B. νεφέλη zu νέφος. Sonst dunkel; ganz fragliche Hypothesen m. Lit. bei Bq s. v., WP. 2, 680, W.-Hofmann s. spīrō. — Lat. LW spēlaeum und spēlunca (s. W.-Hofmann s.v. und Rohlfs ByzZ 37, 60f.); alb. LW shpellë Felsen, Höhle (Pisani Jb. f. kleinas. Forsch. 3, 152).
