πέλμα

Ancient Greek

Etymology

According to Beekes, from Proto-Indo-European *pélmn̥, from *pel- (“to cover, wrap; skin, hide; cloth”) and cognate with Proto-Germanic *felmô (“covering, skin”) (whence English film). Compare also Latin pellis (“skin”), Proto-Germanic *fellą (“skin, hide”) and Proto-Slavic *plěna (“membrane”) from the same root.
