Etymologies

CategoryExplanation
Morphological CompositionFrom τὸ εἴκω (the verb/noun meaning 'to dwell'), in which we dwell (i.e. οἶκος derived from εἴκω).
Morphological CompositionIt may be the same (word) meaning 'dwelling, lodging' akin to τὸ οἶον (i.e. comparison/derivation with οἶον).
Morphological CompositionBy pleonasm/addition of the consonant κ, as in the example ὄρος → ὅρκος (showing formation by consonantal augmentation).
Morphological CompositionDerivatives such as ὁ οἰκήτωρ, οἰκεῖος (and οἰκεύς) are formed from οἶκος, analogous to ἀστὸς → ἀστεῖος.
Morphological CompositionFrom οἶκος come οἰκία and οἰκιατής by the pleonasm/addition of the vowel α (from οἰκίτης).
