|etymtx=Grammatical information: adv.<br />Meaning: [[forthwith]], [[immediately]] (Il.).<br />Other forms: <b class="b3">ἀφνός· ἐξαίφνης</b> [[H]].<br />Derivatives: [[ἀφαρεί]] ([[ἀφάρει]] Chantr., [[ἀφαρεί]]) <b class="b3">ταχέως καὶ ἀκόπως</b> (EM, H., Suid.).<br />Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]<br />Etymology: One connects [[ἄφνω]], assuming a neuter [[r-n-]]stem, Schwyzer 519, 624 n. 5; vW. 28 connects Goth. [[abrs]] [[strong]], comparing for the meaning Eng. [[fast]]. - I think Fur. (index) brilliantly connects (<b class="b3">ἐξ)αίφνης</b> (with [[ἐξαπίνης]]), and further [[αἶψα]], <b class="b3">-ηρός</b>, assuming a substr. element, with [[α]]/[[αι]], [[π]]/[[φ]]. He also connects [[αἰπύς]] etc., which is less evident.
