βαλανεῖον
Ancient Greek
Alternative forms
- βᾰλᾰνῖον (balanîon), βᾰλᾰνῆον (balanêon)
Etymology
Attempts have been made to connect with βάλανος (bálanos, “acorn”), but are semantically unconvincing. According to Beekes, it is Pre-Greek, while Furnée compares Old Georgian აბანოჲ (abanoy, “bathroom”).
