Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]
Etymology: Animal's name in φο- (Schwyzer 495, Chantraine Formation 263); the adjectival function is clearly secondary. - Unexplained. Acc. to Wood ClassPhil. 3, 76 as "the cunning" to Lith. skíedžiu, skíesti separate etc.; thus also Schrader BB 15, 138: to Skt. chidura- deceitful (in this meaning only lexical. attested; otherwise infirm, defective, to chid- cut off, s. σχίζω). - A byform is κίραφος, s. v.; acc. to Havers Sprachtabu 125 the change δ: ρ is tabooistic. See Specht Ursprung 171 and 229. - The variants show a Pre-Greek word.

{kídaphos}
Forms: auch κινδάφη, κι(ν)δάφιος, daneben σκίνδαφος f. (Ael.), σκιδάφη (Ark.); als Adj.: κίδαφος = δόλιος, κι(ν)δάφιος = πανοῦργος H.
Meaning: = ἀλώπηξ H.;
Derivative: Denominativ κιδαφεύειν· πανουργεῖν H.
Etymology: Tiername mit φο-Suffix (Schwyzer 495, Chantraine Formation 263); die adjektivische Funktion ist offenbar sekundär. — Unerklärt. Nach Wood ClassPhil. 3, 76 als "der Gescheite" zu lit. skíedžiu, skíesti trennen, scheiden usw.; ähnlich im Grunde schon Fick 13, 806 und Schrader BB 15, 138: zu aind. chidura- trügerisch (in dieser Bed. nur lexikalisch belegt; sonst zerbrechlich, zerbrechend, zu chid- abschneiden, s. σχίζω). — Eine Nebenform ist κίραφος, s. d.; nach Havers Sprachtabu 125 wäre der Wechsel δ: ρ tabuistisch.
