Etymologies

Category	Explanation
Eponym Person	Thrace: from a nymph, a Titanid (i.e. named after a nymph of the Titans).
Unclear Metalinguistic	Which was called Perke and Aria (alternative names for the region).
Morphological Composition	The feminine form 'Θρᾳκία' is from 'Θρᾴκιος' and 'Θρᾴκιον' (morphological derivation of the feminine from the masculine/ethnic).
Morphological Composition	They say the ethnic is also 'Θρείκιον', and in the feminine 'Θρείσσαν' (variants of the ethnic and feminine forms).
Morphological Composition	And in Thracian dialect, the adverb (is formed) as from the verb 'θρακίζω' (derivation of an adverb from a verb).
