ὀρσοθύρη

ὀρσοθύρη
ὀρσοθύρη
Grammatical information: f.
Meaning: esp. a side-door or side-opening at the back, leading from the men's hall in the λαύρη to the rooms upstairs (χ 126, 132, 333); s. Wace Journ ofHellStud. 71, 203ff. w. lit., Bérard REGr. 67, 18 ff.); also sens. obsc. (Semon. 17).
Origin: XX [etym. unknown]
Etymology: Explanation debated. One is tempted to identify the first element with ὄρρος, ὄρσος `hindmost' (Doederlein Hom. Gloss. 2. 340; thus v. Wilamowitz Eur. Her. 376 n., Wackernagel Unt. 226, Lasso de la Vega Emer. 23, 114ff.). This interpretation is as regards the matter and stile without objections; cf. παλίν-ορσος, ἄψ-ορρος and Wackernagel l.c. Others explain it as "high door" connecting either Skt. r̥ṣvá- `high' or varṣ- in várṣ-man- n. `culmen' (Froehde BB 3, 19 ff., Kalén Quaest. gramm. gr. 75ff., extensice w. lit., also on εἰρεθύρη [H.] and ἔρθυρις [EM], WP. 1,138; similar Büchner RhM 83, 97 ff., not convincing; s. also Risch IF 59, 20). -- In the same sphere belongs ὀρρόση-λος ὀδός (cod. ὁδ-). Ίταλιῶται H.; after Kalén l.c. "high threshold". -- With ὀρσο- also: ὀρσο-λόπος surn. of Ares (Anacr. 70) with ὀρσολοπ-εύω (metr. for -έω) `attack, revile' (h. Merc. 308, Max. 102), -έομαι `be teased, disquieted' (A. Pers. 10); ὀρσο-λόπος therefore `attacker v.t.', prop. = ὁ λέπων τὸν ὄρρον (sc. τοῦ φυγόντος πολεμίου); s. Schwyzer Glotta 12, 21ff. (with Müller-Strübing), Lasso de la Vega a.o. Diff. Kalén l.c. ("Hochprahler"). -- ὀρσο-δάκνη f. name of an insect that eats buds (Arist.); naming motive unknown. Unclear also ὀρσοί τῶν ἀρνῶν οἱ ἔσχατοι γενόμενοι H.; the similarity with ἕρσαι (s.v.) jas long been observed (to be rejected Lasso de la Vega l.c).
