|etymtx=Grammatical information: m.<br />Meaning: name of several Umbellates (Athamanta Cretensis, Peucedanum Cervaria, Daucus Carota; Hp., Dsc., H.; see Andrews, ClassPhil. 44, 185);<br />Other forms: Also <b class="b3">δαῦκον</b> (Thphr.), <b class="b3">δαύκειον</b> (Nic.), <b class="b3">δαυκίον</b> (Gp.); also <b class="b3">δαῦχος</b> (below), <b class="b3">δαυχμός</b> (Nic.), see also on <b class="b3">δάφνη</b>.<br />Derivatives: <b class="b3">δαυκίτης</b> (<b class="b3">οἶνος</b>), see Redard Les noms grecs en <b class="b3">-της</b> 96.<br />Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]<br />Etymology: The plants are characterized by their sharp smell and the bitter, burning taste of the root, so that connection with <b class="b3">δαίω</b> [[kindle]], [[burn]] is possible; s. Solmsen IF 26, 106f., Wortf. 118 n. 1, where the scholia to Nic. Th. 94 on <b class="b3">δαυχμός</b> (v. l. <b class="b3">δαῦκος</b>) are mentioned: <b class="b3">Πλούταρχος πλείονα μέν φησι γένη τῆς βοτάνης εἶναι</b>, <b class="b3">τὸ δε κοινὸν τῆς δυνάμεως ἰδίωμα δριμὺ καὶ πυρῶδες</b>. But the Daukos-plants will rather have their name from the gummi-like sap , which is taken from certain kinds and which burns with hell flame; cf. <b class="b3">δαυχμόν εὔκαυστον ξύλον δάφνης</b>. (Note the form <b class="b3">καῦκον</b> in Ps.-Dsc. 2, 139, which was influenced by <b class="b3">κάω</b>, <b class="b3">καῦσαι</b>.) - Mediterranean origin is quite possible. We shall see under <b class="b3">δάφνη</b> that we have to do with one word. Note that <b class="b3">δαῦκος</b> and <b class="b3">δαῦχος</b> are one word: <b class="b3">δαύκου τὸ μέντοι δαὺκου καὶ δαύχου γράφεται</b>, <b class="b3">ἐπὶ τινων δε καὶ γλύκου</b>...H. [here we must without a doubt assume an older <b class="b3">δαύκου</b>]. | |||
