θρᾶνος

Ancient Greek

Etymology

This word is often connected with θρόνος (thrónos, “throne”), together with θρῆνυς (thrênus, “footstool”). Recently, De Lamberterie has argued that θρόνος (thrónos) is a younger form of *θόρνος (*thórnos), comparing θόρναξ (thórnax, “footstool”), and reflecting the Indo-European root *dʰer- (“to hold”), but the existence of variants θόρν-/θρόν- could also be an indication of Pre-Greek origin.
