λωγάνιον

Ancient Greek

Etymology

Perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *(s)leh₁g- (“weak, faint”), the same root of λαγαίω (lagaíō, “to release”) and λαγαρός (lagarós, “slack, loose”), thus "skin hanging down". Intermediate forms, such as *λώγανον (*lṓganon), *λώγη (*lṓgē), cannot be determined, however.^[1]
