- ἀτέραμνος
- ἀτέραμνοςGrammatical information: adj.Meaning: `hard, stubborn, merciless' (Od.).Other forms: ἀτεράμων (Ar.)Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: Analyzed as α privativum and a noun *τέραμα, from the root of τείρω, τέρην, so `not weak'; s. Frisk, Adj. priv. 5f., Sommer, Nominalkomp. 11 n. 2. But there is no evidence for *h₂ in this root (rather for *h₁), Pok. 1071; there is an adj. τεράμων (q.v.), but Frisk and Chantr. think that it may be secondarily derived from ἀτέραμνος. A form in -αμνος suggests substr. origin.Page in Frisk: 1,178
