μύρον

μύρον
μύρον
Grammatical information: n.
Meaning: `sweet-smelling oil, salve, perfume' (Archil., Lesb. lyric, IA.).
Compounds: Often as 1. member, e.g. μυρο-πώλης `salve-handler' (Att.). μυρ-εψός m. `salven-preparer' (Critias, Arist.; FraenkeI Nom. ag. 2, 112 f.).
Derivatives: 1. Subst. diminut.: μυρ-ίδιον (Ar.), -άφιον (Arr.); μυρίς f. `salve-box' (Poll.; cf. σπυρίς), also = μυρρίς (Thphr.), s. μύρρα; μύρωμα n. = μύρον (Ar. Ek. 1117 [pl.], beside μεμύρωμαι, but perh. directly from μύρον, cf. Chantraine Form. 186 f.); μυρίνης (οἶνος, hell., com., Ael.; besides μυρρίνης, s. μύρρα a. μύρτος). -- 2. Adj. μυρ-ηρός `belonging to μύρον' (A., Ar.; like ἐλαιηρός), -όεις `full of salves, smelling like salves' (A P, Man.), -ώδης `salve-like' (sch.). -- 3. Verbs. μυρίζω (IA.), σμυρίζω (Archil.) `salve, perfume'; μυρόομαι `be salved, perfumed' (Ar. Ek. 1117 [v. l. μεμύρισμαι]).
Origin: XX [etym. unknown]
Etymology: As a clear culture-word μύρον can well be a loan (so Chantraine Form. 16). Since Fick and Curtius (s. Bq) it is usually (though with a certain reserve, WP. 2, 690) as IE σμύρις `emery-powder' connected with a Germ.-Celt. word for `smear, fat etc.', e.g. OHG smero 'Schmer', OIr. smi(u)r `marrow' (also Lat. medulla?); but this does not explain the Greek -u-; cf. μύραινα [which is a Pre-Greek word]. The isolated σμυρίζω `anoint' can, if not old, rest upon association with σμύρις, σμύρνα. --
