Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]
Etymology: From H. (and Hdn. Gr. 1, 509) βίσχυν (Lac.), γισχύν ἰσχύν would lead to PGr. *Ϝισχύ̄ς (which Brugmann IF 16, 493f., Grundr.2 2 : 1, 209 connected with Skt. vi-ṣah- `have in one's power'; so to σχ-εῖν, ἔχειν (s. v.) with the prefix *u̯i- `from one another', also augment.; cf. on ἴδιος). But Myc. isukuwo-doto shows no digamma. The connection with ἔχειν seems rather improbable. On the ū-stem (like πληθύ̄ς, νηδύ̄ς etc.) s. Schwyzer 463f.; further Meid IF 63, 1 1, who assumes an abstract formation from an adj. *Ϝι-σχ-ύς `resisting' (-υ- as in ἐχυ-ρός), which is also not convincing - Diff. Meillet BSL 27, 129ff.: prothetic ἰ- , adaptation to Ϝίς sec. - Chantraine Emerita 19, 134ff. considers connection with ἰξύς, ἰσχίον; there also on meaning and use (ἰσχύς as popular avoided by Hom. ?). Pre-Greek origin seems quite probable.
