Ancient Greek

Etymology

The origin of the term is uncertain; most likely derived from Pre-Greek, possibly Phrygian or Illyrian. Ancient Greek θρι- (thri-) has also been connected with a term for fig tree (compare θρῖον (thrîon, fig leaf)). The suffix -αμβος (-ambos) is probably the same element that also occurs in ἴαμβος (íambos, a poetic meter), δῑθύραμβος (dīthúrambos, hymn to Dionysus) and might derive from Proto-Indo-European *h₃engʷ- (to anoint).[1]
