Frisk Etymological English
Grammatical information: m. pl.
Meaning: railing or latticed partition, balcony, bar (in court) (Ar.);
Other forms: (rarely sg. -ος); also δρύφρακτοι (Lib.) with restored (?) ρ, and τρύφακτοι (hell. u. late inscr., Hdn. Gr.) from regressive assimilation (? cf. Schwyzer 257), and folketymology after τρυφη?
Derivatives: Denomin. δρυφάσσω fence in (Lyc.), δρυφάξαι ++ δακεῖν H. ( alphabetically at wrong place). Also δρυθακτόω.
Origin: GR [a formation built with Greek elements]
Etymology: Generally taken as a conbination of δρυ- (in δόρυ) and φράσσω with το-suffix (cf. e. g. ἀκμό-θε-τον). (But the τ- is hard to understand as assimilation.) See on φράσσω.
