ἔρχατος
σκηνὴ πᾶς ὁ βίος καὶ παίγνιον: ἢ μάθε παίζειν, τὴν σπουδὴν μεταθείς, ἢ φέρε τὰς ὀδύνας → all life is a stage and a play: either learn to play laying your gravity aside, or bear with life's pains | the world's a stage, and life's a toy: dress up and play your part; put every serious thought away—or risk a broken heart | Life's a performance. Either join in lightheartedly, or thole the pain. | this life a theatre we well may call, where every actor must perform with art, or laugh it through, and make a farce of all, or learn to bear with grace his tragic part
English (LSJ)
ὁ, fence, enclosure, hedge, Hsch.; cf. ἕρκατος.
German (Pape)
[Seite 1038] ὁ (εἴργω), Zaun, Gehege zum Einschließen, wie ἕρκος, Hesych. erkl. φραγμός.
Greek (Liddell-Scott)
ἔρχᾰτος: ὁ, «φραγμὸς» Ἡσύχ., πρβλ. ἕρκος.
Frisk Etymological English
Grammatical information: m.
Meaning: φραγμός H.
Other forms: Also ἕρκατος φραγμός, ἑρκάτη φυλακή.
Origin: XX [etym. unknown]
Etymology: In itself the change κ/χ might point to a Pre-Greek word. One may have been influenced by ἔρκος (s.v.). There is also ἑρκάνη, ὁρκάνη. Latte corrects ἑρκάτη in ἑρκάνη, which is in any case too uncertain. Cf. also ὄρχατος orchard; perhaps adapted to ἐρχατόωντο (ξ 15), which belongs to εἴργω; s. v. - Acc. to Fraenkel KZ 72, 193ff. to Lith. sérgėti protect, guard.

Etymology: Kontaminationen aus ἕρκος Gehege und ὄρχατος Baumgarten, evtl. mit Angleichung an ἐρχατόωντο (ξ 15), das zu εἴργω gehört; s. d. m. Lit. — Nach Fraenkel KZ 72, 193ff. zu lit. sérgėti behüten, bewachen.
