Greek Monolingual
(I)
ο (ΑΜ μύωψ)
βλ. μύωπας.
(II)
μύωψ, ὁ (ΑΜ)
είδος εντόμου από το οποίο ερεθίζονται τα άλογα και τα βόδια και τρέχουν, ο οίστρος, η αλογόμυγα, η βοϊδόμυγα («βοηλάτην μύωπα κινητήριον», Αισχύλ.)
αρχ.
1. πτερνιστήρας, κεντρί, σπιρούνι, με το οποίο ο ιππέας κεντά το άλογο για να τρέξει («προσθέντα τοὺς μύωπας βίᾳ τὸν ἵππον ἐπάγειν καὶ διαπερᾱν», Πολύβ.)
2. βουκέντρα («βουσόος μύωψ», Κερκ.)
3. ο μικρός δάκτυλος
4. φυτό το οποίο φυτρώνει κοντά στον ποταμό Αχελώο
5. μτφ. παρορμητικό μέσο.
[ΕΤΥΜΟΛ. Αβέβαιης ετυμολ. Σύμφωνα με παλαιότερη άποψη, ο τ. μύωψ < μυίωψ (< μυῖα + -ωψ, -ωπος < ὤψ, ὠπός «όψη, μάτι») «αυτός που έχει όψη μύγας, που μοιάζει με μύγα». Κατ' άλλους, η λ. συνδέεται με μῦ, μύζω, λαμβάνοντας τη σημ. «έντομο που βομβίζει». Έχει διατυπωθεί, τέλος, και η υπόθεση ότι η λ. δεν αποτελεί παρά παλαιότερη, μη μαρτυρημένη σημ. του μύωψ (Ι), που χρησιμοποιήθηκε αρχικά για να χαρακτηρίσει ένα είδος εντόμου που κλείνει τα μάτια, που δεν βλέπει καλά και μετά καθιερώθηκε ως ονομασία του εντόμου αυτού (για το επίθημα -ωψ του μύωψ, πρβλ. κώνωψ)].
Greek Monotonic
μύωψ: -ωπος, ὁ, ἡ (μύω, ὤψ),·
I. αυτός που μισοκλείνει τα μάτια, όπως κάνουν οι άνθρωποι που έχουν μυωπία, μύωπας, σε Αριστ.
II. 1. ως ουσ., μύωψ, -ωπος, ὁ, αλογόμυγα ή βοϊδόμυγα, Λατ. tabānus, σε Αισχύλ., Πλάτ.
2. βουκέντρα, σπηρούνι, σε Ξεν., Θεόφρ.· μεταφ., κίνητρο, διεγερτικό, σε Λουκ., Ανθ.
Frisk Etymological English
1 -ωπος
Grammatical information: m.
Meaning: goad, spur; horse-fly, also metaph. stimulant (A., Pl.. X., Arist.).
Derivatives: -ωπίζω spurn (X., PLB.); -ωπίζομαι be stung by gad-fly (X., J.).
Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]
Etymology: Bq proposes *μυί-ωψ prop. "with the face of a fly, fly-like", which DELG calls doubtdul. After Prellwitz Glotta 16, 153 prop "Summling", from μυ in μύζω a.o., which is not better (DELG). One has also suggested a special use of μύωψ 2 (Gil Fernandez, Nombres de insectos 81-4), which is again not quite convincing. On the formation Schwyzer 426 n.4; on -ωψ cf. κώνωψ and Sommer Nominalkomposita 9 n. 2. The form κώνωψ rather points to a Pre-Greek word.
2 -ωπος
Grammatical information: adj.
Meaning: shortsighted (Arist.).
Derivatives: -ωπία shortsightedness (s.v.), -ωπίας m. shortsighted man (Poll., Paul. Aeg.), -ωπίασις = -ωπία (Gal.; after the words for diseases in -ίασις, as from *-ωπιάω), -ωπάζω be shortsighted (2 Ep. Pet. 1, 9); besides them. -ωπός id. (X. Kyn.).
Origin: GR [a formation built with Greek elements]
Etymology: Prop. "with eyes that shut", from μύω and ὤψ. Cf. 1. μύωψ and μύω; on the accent Fraenkel Nom. ag. 2, 42.
Middle Liddell
μύ-ωψ, ωπος, [μύω, ὤψ]
I. contracting the eyes, as shortsighted people do, shortsighted, Arist.
II. as substantive, the horsefly or gadfly, Lat. tabanus, Aesch., Plat.
2. a good, spur, Xen., Theophr.:—metaph. a stimulant, Luc., Anth.

μύωψ: 1. -ωπος

Derivative: mit -ωπίζω spornen (X., PLB. u.a.) -ωπίζομαι von Bremsen gestochen werden (X., J. u.a.).
Etymology: Wohl mit Bq aus *μυίωψ eig. "mit Fliegengesicht, fliegenähnlich". Nach Prellwitz Glotta 16, 153 eig. "Summling", von μυ in μύζω u.a. Zur Bildung Schwyzer 426 A.4.

2. -ωπος

Meaning: kurzsichtig (Arist. u.a.)
