βρῶμος
Ancient Greek
editEtymology
editUnknown. The word has been supposed to be identical with βρόμος (brómos, “loud noise”) (with hypothetical semantic development "emanating noise" > "emanating smell"),[1] and, within modern Greek, has apparently been folk-etymologically conflated with it (see βρόμικος (vrómikos, “dirty, stinky”) for more).
