Ancient Greek
Etymology
Unclear. Perhaps of Pre-Greek origin, especially Sicel.
The unattested Doric variant could have been *Νέᾱτον (Néāton), that could suggest some relation with νέατος (néatos, “the last, the extreme, the lowest”), irregular superlative of νέος (néos, “new, young”). Otherwise it could be connected with Proto-Indo-European *nes- (“to join with, to conceal oneself”), cognate with ναίω (naíō), νᾱός (nāós, “a temple”), νέομαι (néomai, “to go or come back”), νόστος (nóstos). In any case, problems of morphological reconstruction remain with reference to the vowel quantity and any possible original consonants disappeared from the lemma.
