Gr.; codd. often <b class="b3">-ύς</b>.<br />Compounds: As 1. element a.o. in <b class="b3">ὀσφυ-αλγής</b> (A.Fr. 361 = 111 M., Hp.) <b class="b2">suffering from a hip-disease (lumbago)</b> with <b class="b3">-έω</b>, <b class="b3">-ία</b> (Hp.);<br />Derivatives: Dimin.

Mostly, but without serious argument (Benveniste Origines 7), connected with <b class="b3">ὀστ-έον</b> assuming diff. second members: <b class="b3">φυ-</b> in <b class="b3">ἔ-φυ-ν</b> etc. (Kretschmer KZ 31, 332); to <b class="b3">σφυ-</b> in <b class="b3">σφυδῶν ἰσχυρός</b> ... H. (Persson Beitr. 1, 415 a. 2, 717; doubting). Other, also unconvincing hypotheses in Bq s.v., W.-Hofmann s. [[os]], WP. 1, 175, Pok. 783, Schwyzer 302; also Prellwitz s.v. (to [[ψόαι]] (s.v.), [[ψύαι]] [[loinmuscles]]; thus Grošelj Živa Ant. 7, 44). Initial <b class="b3">ὀ-</b> prothetic acc. to Meillet BSL 27, 131 (because of the circumflex). - Furnée 375 adduces further [[φύς]] = [[ὀσφύς]] (AB 1096), with Dorian loss of initial <b class="b3">σ-</b> before [[φ]]. He also accepts (393) the connection with [[ψύαι]], which is too obvious to be discarded. The word, then, is clearly Pre-Greek.
