Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]
Etymology: Beside πτύσσω there are also quite rarely forms with -ττ- (δια-πτύττω Pl. Legg. 858e, προσ-ανα- πτύσσω Arist.); so -σσ- rather Ionism than to avoid τ: ττ (Schwyzer 319 n. 1; cf. 755 n. 2) ? As Yot-present πτύσσω stands for *πτύχ-ι̯ω; so it can be taken as denominative to πτύχ-ες. --Etymolog. unclear. The connection with the unclear Skt. pyúkṣṇa- (only in the comp. pyúkṣṇa-veṣṭita-), which goes back on Brugmann Grundr.2 I 277, is for several reasons very suspect; s. Mayrhofer s.v. On other hypothesen s. Bq s.v., WP. 1, 189, W.-Hofmann s. fugiō (everywhere rightly rejected). Cf. also Merlingen Μνήμης χάριν 2, 57. -- Furnée 318 considers the word a Pre-Greek, which may well be correct, but his connection with πυκ-νός etc. is not convincing.
