Frisk Etymological English
Grammatical information: m.
Meaning: κάνθαρος. Τυρρηνοί H.
Origin: LW [a loanword which is (probably) not of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably] Etr.
Etymology: Thought to derive from the colour, from Gr. πυρρός, = Lat. burrus deep red (Paul. Fest. 31). Fohalle Mélanges Vendryes 157f., also Kretschmer Glotta 16 (1928)166. However, this is hardly adequate in the case of a pot. Fur. 213 connects μύρσος basket (Call. fr. anon. 102; H.), Etr. murś; the word lives on in Otrant. vurro, Toscan. borraccia (Alessio, Le lingue, 736).
