- ἀκάκητα
- ἀκάκηταGrammatical information: adj.Meaning: Epic epithet, of Hermes (Il., Hes., Suid.) and Prometheus (Hes.) of unknown meaning.Derivatives: ἀκακήσιος (Call.).Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: If the glosses ἀκακίεις συνίεις and ἀκακιεῖ συνιεῖ are reliable, the word could mean `συνετός'; Hoffmann BB 17, 328. DELG rejects the glosses without reason and assumes a meaning `benevolent'. Risch (FS Debrunner 395f) thinks it was built on ἄκακος, ἀκάκᾱς after μητίετα (which is not easy).
