σάττω

Ancient Greek

Alternative forms

  • σᾰ́σσω (sássō) Ionic

Etymology

From Proto-Indo-European *twenk- (to squeeze, press, pressure), the same root of Proto-Germanic *þwangiz (belt, strap; clamp) and Lithuanian tveñkti (to dam up). The connection with Tocharian A twāṅk is, however, difficult, both because of the difference in the preforms needed and because of the uncertain meaning of the poorly-attested Tocharian verb (traditionally translated as "to force in").
