Number: 117
Root: arqu-
English meaning: smth. bent
German meaning: `Gebogenes'
Material: Lat. arcus, -ūs (Stamm lautet auf -qu- aus, vgl. alat. Gen. arquī, ferner argues, arquitenēns) `Bogen', arquātus, arcuātus (morbus) `gelbsüchtig, Gelbsucht', wohl eig. `regenbogenfarbig, grün und gelb aussehend' (vgl. Thes.); arcuātus auch `bogenförmig'; umbr. arc̨lataf `arculatas', wozu v. Planta I 341, Götze IF. 41, 91 (*arkelo- mit Verlust der Labialisation); got. arƕazna f. `Pfeil' (arƕa-zna, vgl. hlaiwazna), altn. ǫr (Gen. ǫrvar) f. `Pfeil', ags. earh f. ds. (engl. arrow), germ. *arhvō. Für den Ansatz arqu- (und nicht arqu̯-) würde sprechen russ. rakíta, čech. rokyta, serb. rokita usw. `Haarweide', wo *arqūta (Miklosich EWb. 226, Torbjörnsson BB. 20, 140) zugrunde liegt, und gr. ἄρκευθος `Wacholder', welches Wort mit Lidén IF. 18, 507 mit aller Wahrscheinlichkeit hierzu zu ziehen ist; dazu ἀρκευθίς `Wacholderbeere'. Allerdings nimmt Lidén Verwandtschaft mit gr. ἄρκυς `Netz' (s. Bezzenberger BB. 21, 285) an, wozu man unter ar-1, S. 61 vergleiche.
Eine andere Verbindung für gr. ἄρκευθος und russ. rakíta usw. sucht Endzelin KZ. 44, 59 ff., der richtiger lett. ẽrcis, ẽcis (*ẽrcis) `Wacholder' vergleicht; ferner ẽrcêties `sichquälen, grämen, streiten', ẽrceša `eine sehr zänkische Person'; lett. ẽrkš(k')is `Dornstrauch' wäre nach Endzelin Mischung von *erkīs und einer dem lit. erškė̃tis `Dornpflanze' wurzelhaftentsprechenden Form; gr. ἀρ- müßte dann Schwundstufe von *er- enthalten.
