Ancient Greek
Etymology
The connection with κίνδαξ (kíndax, “quick, nimble”), ὀνοκίνδιος (onokíndios, “donkey-driver”) is formally attractive. For the semantics, Prellwitz and Vendryes compare Latin sollicitus (“agitated, disturbed”), which is from sollus (“whole, entire”) + cieō (“move, stir, shake”). Attempts at an Indo-European etymology should be given up. The Pre-Greek character is clear in view of the ending -ῡν-.
