ἐράω

Ancient Greek[edit]

Etymology 1[edit]

Uhlenbeck and others consider it cognate with Sanskrit रमते (rámate, “to calm down; to enjoy; to have sex with”), Lithuanian rimti (“calm down”), Gothic 𐍂𐌹𐌼𐌹𐍃 (rimis, “tranquility”), which all come from Proto-Indo-European *h₁rém-e-ti with *h₁rem- (“to rest”).^[1] Beekes simply states “No etymology” and tentatively suggests a Pre-Greek origin.^[2]

The original stem is ἐρᾰσ- (eras-), as shown by ἐραστός (erastós), ἐραννός (erannós), ἐράσμιος (erásmios, “lovely”) and ἐραστής (erastḗs, “lover”).^[2]
