Ancient Greek

Etymology

[edit]

It has been suggested that it is a primary derivative of θύω (thúō, to smoke). It is clearly connected to θυία (thuía, stinking juniper); however, the relation of these forms is not clear. It does not seem very probable that two distinct trees had nearly identical names.
