σκυδμαίνω

Ancient Greek

Etymology

There is no certain etymology. Lithuanian praskùsti (to become nervous, tired) and Latvian skundêt (to grumble, grudge) cannot be related, as their accentuation points to -dʰ-. From the same root are σκύζομαι (skúzomai, to be angry) and σκυθρός (skuthrós, angry, sullen).
