Ancient Greek

Etymology

[edit]

    From Proto-Hellenic *skʰolā́ (“holding back”), perhaps from either Proto-Indo-European *sǵʰ-h₃-l-éh₂ or *sǵʰ-ol-eh₂, in any case derived from the root *seǵʰ- (“to hold”). Synchronically analyzable as a root σχελ- (skhel-) +‎ -ή (-ḗ), a formation from the aorist stem σχ- (skh-) of ἔχω (ékhō, “to hold”).[1]
