δρυμός

See also: Δρυμός

Ancient Greek

Etymology

From Proto-Hellenic *drumós, Proto-Indo-European *drumós, from the same root as of δόρυ (dóru, “tree”), δρῦς (drûs, “oak”), and δροόν (droón, “strong”). The length of the vowel ῡ (ū) is taken analogically from δρῦς (drûs). Cognate with Proto-Germanic *trumaz, Sanskrit द्रुम (druma), Russian дром (drom).
