πάγουρος

Ancient Greek

Etymology

Usually interpreted as derived from πάγος (págos, “crag, rock”) +‎ οὐρά (ourá, “tail”). However, this traditional etymology is unconvincing, like in σκίουρος (skíouros, “squirrel”). More probably this is a Pre-Greek word. Furnée compares also φάγρος (phágros, “red porgy”).
