Etymology: Except for the stemformation σπάθη has been connected with the Germ. word for `spade', OS spado m., OE spade, spadu f., NHG. Spaten m., PGm. *spað-an, -ōn-, but the Greek word cannot be connected as the Germ. word had an ē (which implies a h₁, which would have given Gr. ε; see Pok. 980). Untenable on σπάθη Specht Ursprung 256 (θ from IE th). Hitt. išpatar `spear?, sprong ?' should better remain far; s. Kronasser 1, 283 w. lit. Further connection with a verb `draw in length' (s. σπάω; Persson Beitr. 1, 405ff.) seems possible (reserved WP. 2, 652f.). Lat. LW [loanword] spada, spatha, spatula s. W.-Hofmann s. vv. w. more details.
