δροίτη

δροίτη
δροίτη
Grammatical information: f.
Meaning: `bathtub' (A.), also `cradle' (Alex. Aet.), `coffin' (Parth.), name of a dance (H.; s. Lawler AmJPh 71, 70ff.). Cf. δοῖτρον πύελον, σκάφην H., from *δροῖτρο?
Derivatives: None.
Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]
Etymology: Unexplained. After Holthausen IF 17, 294 and Lidén 18, 414 from *δροϜ-ιτα (but there is no suffix -ιτα, Fur. 238 n. 45, except a Pre-Greek one). One compares also OE trīg, NEng. tray `flat trough, dish' from PGm. *trau-i̯a-, IE *drou-i̯o-; both from the word for `wood' (s. δόρυ, δρῦς); cf. Skt. dró-ṇam `trough'. The younger form δρύτη has been explained from the pronunciation υ for οι and from association with δρῦς (or Pre-Greek?). See also Wackernagel Unt. 187 n. 1; Lasso de la Vega Emerita 23, 109ff.: to δρύεται. - From δροίτη prob. Lat. dureta `wooden bathtub' (Schwyzer KZ 62, 199ff.).
