Ancient Greek[edit]

Etymology[edit]

Unclear. Expressive sound-word in -ύζω, like γογγύζω (gongúzō, to mutter, murmur), κλύζω (klúzō, to wash, dash over), ὀλολύζω (ololúzō, to cry aloud) and τονθορύζω (tonthorúzō, to mumble). Probably related to κέλωρ (kélōr, voice), first from an unattested adjective *κελαρός (*kelarós), or from a by-form *κέλαρ (*kélar); otherwise it could be from κέλαδος (kélados, din, clamour).
