ἀσελγής

Unclear; Beekes compares this word with the Hesychian gloss ἀσάλγαν (asálgan, “insolence, indifference”), suggesting a possible Pre-Greek origin, but not without hesitation.

ἀσελγής • (aselgḗs) m or f (neuter ἀσελγές); third declension

1. licentious, wanton, brutal, outrageous
2. lascivious, lewd, lustful

   Synonyms: μάργος (márgos), ὑβριστικός (hubristikós)
