Greek (Liddell-Scott)

ἐρῠσίπελας: -ατος, τὸ, ἰσχυρὰ φλόγωσις καὶ ἐξοίδησις τοῦ δέρματος, κοινῶς «ἀνεμοπύρωμα», Ἱππ. π. Ἀρχ. Ἰητρ. 16, Προγν. 45, 17, Ἀφ. 1253. (Ἐκ τοῦ ἐρυθρός, πέλλα, = δέρμα, Κουρτ. ἀρ. 353· πρβλ. ἐρυσίβη).

Frisk Etymological English

-τος
Grammatical information: n.
Meaning: name of a skin disease, Erysipelas
Other forms: often in plur.
Derivatives: with -ατώδης (Hp., Gal.).
Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]
Etymology: Medic. term of unusual formation; a learned compound?. The 1. member also in ἐρυσίβη<< (?)

and the plant-name ἐρυσί-σκηπτρον (Thphr.); s.v.; a word πέλας is further unknown, cf. however on πέλμα. So "what reddens the skin"? (Schwyzer 443 n. 5); of course it may also be of Pre-Greek origin, like the beginning of the word (I see no reason for Furnée's suggestion 214 n. 60 that it would be from ἐρύω).
