Ancient Greek
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Of unclear origin. The word has been connected with αἰών (aiṓn, “lifetime”) and Sanskrit आयु (āyu, “life, vital force”) (< *h₂óyu), but this is formally improbable.[1] Alternatively, the word may be from Proto-Hellenic *walwólos, from Proto-Indo-European *welwel-, a reduplication of the root *wel- (“to turn”).
