- κνέωρος
- κνέωροςGrammatical information: m.Meaning: name of a stinging plant, `Daphne, Thymelaea' (Thphr., Dsc., Plin., H.) with κ\<ν\>εωρεῖν πασχητιᾶν H.? (cf. Fraenkel Glotta 4, 42).Other forms: -ον n.Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: Like synonymous κνῆστρον connected with κνῆν (s. -κναίω), but the formation remains unclear. A basic form *κνη[σ]ορος (κνησ- : Skt. ki-knasa- `case-shot, coal-dust, grit' etc.; against this Mayrhofer KEWA s. v.) with suffixal -ορο- does not convince.Page in Frisk: 1,882
