{{etym
|etymtx=Grammatical information: n.<br />Meaning: name of <b class="b2">a plant with poisonous sap</b>, <b class="b2">white hellebore, Veratrum album</b> (med., Orph.);<br />Dialectal forms: Myc. women's names [[Kapasija]], [[Kapatija]]<br />Compounds: <b class="b3">ὀπο-κάρπασον</b> (Dsc.; Lat. [[opocarpathon]]) = <b class="b3">ὀπὸς καρπάσου</b> (= Lat. <b class="b2">sucus carpathi</b>, Plin.), after <b class="b3">ὀπο-βάλσαμον</b>; <b class="b3">ξυλο-κάρπασον</b> (Gal.) after <b class="b3">ξυλο-βάλσαμον</b> (Risch IF 59, 287).<br />Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]<br />Etymology: Lat. [[carpathum]] with [[th]] for <b class="b3">-σ-</b> points to foreign (mediterranean ) origin; both forms already in Myc. A form with dental is found also in the name of the island <b class="b3">Κάρπαθος</b>, which was named after the plant (Bogiatzides <b class="b3">Ἀθ</b>. 29, 72ff.); here also the PlN <b class="b3">Καρπασία</b> (Cyprus). The <b class="b2">s-</b>form also came in Latin ([[carpasum]], [[carbasa]]). - Derivation from <b class="b3">καρπός</b> (Brugmann Sächs. Ber. 1899, 185) is of course unthinkable. - The variation <b class="b3">θ</b> \/ <b class="b3">σ</b> is typical for Pre-Greek and points to a <b class="b2">-ty-</b>.
