χρεμετίζω

Ancient Greek

Etymology

There is no exact outer-Greek correspondance to the verb, but the root *gʰrem- (“to resound, thunder, grumble, roar”) is Proto-Indo-European. Compare Lithuanian grumù (“to thunder, roar”), Proto-Germanic *grimmaz (“grim, fierce”), Proto-Slavic *gromъ (“thunder”) and Persian غرم (ğaram, “fury”). Within Greek see χρόμος (khrómos, “crashing sound”) and χρόμαδος (khrómados, “crash, fragor”).
