- κλόνοςGrammatical information: m.Meaning: `excitement, excited throng, turmoil, t. of battle' (Il.; on the meaning Trümpy Fachausdrücke 157f.);Compounds: rarely in compp., e. g. ἄ-κλονος `without excitment, quiet' (Gal., of the pulse).Derivatives: Denomin. κλονέω (mostly present), also with prefix as ὑπο-, συν-, ἐπι-, `excite, urge', pass. `be pressed, get in excitement' (Il.) with κλόνησις `Excitement' (Hp.).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]Etymology: Mostly derived from κέλομαι, so κλ-όνος, with the same formation as in θρ-όνος (s. v. and Schwyzer 490). I doubt this explanation: words in -ονος are rare, and the analysis of θρόνος is also uncertain. Rather a Pre-Greek word.Page in Frisk: 1,876
