Etymology

An αντιδάνειο (antidáneio): Borrowed from Ottoman Turkish پودروم (bodrum, podrum, “basement”), either from Koine Greek ὑπόδρομος (hupódromos, literally “under-walkway”)[1] or from Byzantine Greek ἱππόδρομος (hippódromos, “hippodrome (in reference to the dungeons where animals were kept)”) at the Hippodrome.[2] Less likely is the reduction from the Hellenistic ὑπόδρομος (hupódromos, “a place for ships to run into, cove; running under”) or a contamination of the name Πέτρος (Pétros), from which the Turkish placename Bodrum, from the fort of the Knights Hospitaller at Halicarnassus.[3]
