Ancient Greek[edit]
Etymology[edit]
A derivation from ᾰ̓- (a-, “un-”) + φύω (phúō, “to grow”) seems folk-etymological, but is defended by Meier-Brügger, suggesting Proto-Indo-European *n̥-bʰúH-o- (“without growth”), which is a recent formation compared with Sanskrit अभ्व (abhva, “monster”). However, DELG keeps open the possibility of a substrate word.
