|etymtx=Grammatical information: n.<br />Meaning: [[pain]], [[grief]] (Il.).<br />Derivatives: [[ἀλγεινός]] (from <b class="b3">*ἀλγεσ-νός</b>) A., ([[ἀλεγεινός]] see [[ἀλέγω]]) [[painful]], [[grievous]]; [[ἀργαλέος]], dissim. from <b class="b3">*ἀλγαλέος</b> <b class="b2">id.</b> (Hom.) - Denom. verb: [[ἀλγέω]], <b class="b3">-ήσω</b> [[suffer]] (primary comparatives [[ἀλγίων]], [[ἄλγιστος]] (Hom.)).<br />Origin: XX [etym. unknown]<br />Etymology: Mostly connected with [[ἀλέγω]], ([[quod vide|q.v.]]), which, however, has a clear own meaning (`take care, mind, heed'). Cf. Seiler Griech. Steigerungsformen 85 and Word 11, 1955, 288, and Szemerényi Syncope 148ff, who defends the identity. I think the meanings are too different. - No etym.
