σκυδμαίνω

Ancient Greek

Etymology

There is no certain etymology. Lithuanian praskùsti (“to become nervous, tired”) and Latvian skundêt (“to grumble, grudge”) cannot be related, as their accentuation points to -dʰ-. From the same root are σκύζομαι (skúzomai, “to be angry”) and σκυθρός (skuthrós, “angry, sullen”).
