θρῦλος

See also: θρύλος

Ancient Greek

Alternative forms

θρύλλος (thrúllos)

Etymology

It has been suggested that this word is a zero grade derivative of Proto-Indo-European *dʰrēu- (“to drone”), but this root is not well attested. The frequent notation -λλ- may be an expressive gemination, but it may also point to Pre-Greek origin. Furnée separates the word from the Indo-European forms and connects it with θόρυβος (thórubos, “tumult, confusion”), with variant *θρυϝ- (*thruw-).
