πίθηκος
Ancient Greek
Alternative forms
Etymology
Uncertain. Commonly connected with Latin foedus (“ugly”), as if from a Proto-Indo-European *bʰid-, *bʰoyd-. Beekes argues for an origin as a substrate loan-word or perhaps Lua error in Module:parameters at line 290: 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..
