dormouse

A dormouse is a rodent of the family Gliridae (this family is also variously called Myoxidae or Muscardinidae by different taxonomists). Dormice are nocturnal animals found in Africa, Asia, and Europe. They are named for their long, dormant hibernation period of six months or longer.

Frisk Etymological English

Grammatical information: m.
Meaning: dormouse (Opp. K. 2, 574).
Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin](X)
Etymology: Fick, GGA 1894, 241, proposed *μυ-ωκ-ι̯ος prop. "who shuts his eyes", verbal governing comp. of μύω shut and the word for eye, IE *ōkʷ-, with ι̯ο-suffix and ev. lengthening in compounds; but this would have given -σσ-, not -ξ-. Wrong Prellwitz s.v. (μῦς + χθών?). -- Not quite clear ist μυωξία, by H. and Suid. glossed with ὑβριστικὸς λόγος, after Suid. also = mouse-hole, μυωπία (s.v.); if right, the 1. member must be μῦς. However, if the last explanation is correct, the connection with μύω shut cannot be correct. - I rather think that the word is Pre-Greek. Cf. μόροξος.

Frisk Etymology German

μυωξός: {muōksós}
Grammar: m.
Meaning: Siebenschläfer, Haselmaus (Opp. K. 2, 574).
Etymology: Wohl (mit Fick GGA 1894, 241) für *μυωκι̯ος eig. "der die Augen schließt", verbaler Rektionskomp. von μύω schließen und das Wort für Auge, idg. *ō̆qʷ-, mit ι̯ο-Suffix und ev. Kompositionsdehnung. Verfehlt Prellwitz s.v. (μῦς + χθών?). — Nicht ganz klar ist μυωξία, von H. und Suid. mit ὑβριστικὸς λόγος glossiert, nach Suid. auch = Mausloch μυωπία (s.d.); wenn richtig, muß das Vorderglied μῦς sein.
