ἀλιτρός

Ancient Greek

Etymology

Possibly ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₂leyt-, which would make it cognate with Proto-Germanic *laiþaz (whence English loath and German Leid) and possibly with Latin laedo. This etymology is incomplete. You can help Wiktionary by elaborating on the origins of this term.
