- εὐμαρής
- εὐμαρήςGrammatical information: adj.Meaning: `light, without pain' (Alc., Pi.).Derivatives: εὐμάρεια (-(ε)ίη, -ία) `easiness' (Ion.-Att.), εὐμαρότης `id.' (Callistr. Soph.), εὐμαρέω `have easy access' (B. 1, 175).Origin: IE [Indo-European]X [probably]Etymology: Bahuvrihi of εὖ and μάρη `hand' (s. v.) making an σ-stem (Schwyzer 513) but not esp. after εὐχερής (Bq), which does not belong to χείρ, s. δυσχερής; s. μάρη. - Blanc, REG 105 (1992) 548-556 rejects this, and assumes as meaning `accordé en abondance' from *smer- in μείρομαι `accorder comme part'; unclear. His comparison with the reduced grade of -τραφης does not work; beside μείρομαι and μέρος one would rather expect -μερης.Page in Frisk: 1,588
