μάρμαρος
Ancient Greek
Alternative forms
- μάρμᾰρον (mármaron)
Etymology
Uncertain, possibly Lua error in Module:parameters at line 159: Parameter 2 should be a valid language, etymology language or family code; the value pregrc is not valid. See WT:LOL, WT:LOL/E and WT:LOF.. Perhaps from μαρμαίρω (marmaírō, “I sparkle”). Roberts suggests Proto-Indo-European *mer-, *mor-, *mr- (“to rub away, cause harm, to die”), in the sense of marble's fragility.[1]
