χρώς
Ancient Greek
Etymology
Related to χρῶμα (khrôma).
According to Beekes, probably cognate with Mycenaean Greek 𐀀𐀒𐀫𐀸𐀁 (a-ko-ro-we-e) (representing either /akʰroweʰe/ [dual noun] “without spots”, or /ha-kʰroweʰe/ “of one color”).[1] Chantraine suggests that the Mycenaean form points to a root *k(ʰ)row- “throw”.[2]
