Beside it [[πονάω]] only in [[ἐπονάθη]] (Pi.) and [[ἐπόνασαν]] (Theoc.); s. Schwyzer 719 w. n. 1.<br />Origin: XX [etym. unknown]<br />Etymology: Not certainly explained. The primary present [[πένομαι]], which was pushed back and replaced by its own iterative [[πονέομαι]], <b class="b3">-έω</b> and by its synonyms, e.g. [[κάμνω]], [[δέω]], is in the epos used especially of domestic labour (cf. Porzig Satzinhalte 15). The meaning [[want]], [[lack]], [[be poor]] (from where [[πενία]] and [[πενιχρός]] already since Od.) developed from there like Lat. [[laborare]] [[exert oneself]], also [[be in need]], [[be pressed]] (unargumented doubt in WP. 2, 661). Unclear is however the earlier history of the meaning. Possible is, that [[πένομαι]] orig. indicated a certain kind of domesic labour and from there was generalized. One may compare in that case expressions for [[stretch]], [[twist]], [[weave]] in Lith. [[pìnti]] [[twist]], OCS [[pęti]] [[stretch]], Arm. [[hanum]] and [[henum]] [[weave]], further OHG etc. [[spin]]. As the basic meaning of this verb seems to have been [[unharness]], one may also from there through [[harness oneself]] come to [[exert oneself]] (cf. Arm. [[y-enum]] [[stem or stut smthing with hands or shoulders]]?). Thus (after Schleicher, Benfey, Fick; s. Curtius 271f.) Pedersen KZ 39, 414 and Persson Beitr. 1, 411 ff.; further combinations in WP. 2, 660ff., Pok. 988, W.-Hofmann s. [[pendeō]]. As however the semantic development can be interpreted in diff. ways, this etymology, though quite possible, cannot be proven.
