• χολέρρη(kholérrhē) —Ionic

A medical expression. Formally it may be compared withὑστέρα(hustéra,“uterus, womb”) and names of diseases likeἴκτερος(íkteros,“jaundice”) andὕδερος(húderos,“dropsy”). Perhaps, this word is asubstantivization from unattested*χολερός(*kholerós), with shift of accent. According to Beekes, a basic derivation is more likely fromχολή(kholḗ,“gall, bile”) than fromχολάς(kholás,“entrails, guts”), but aPre-Greek origin cannot be ruled out.Irishgalar(“sickness, illness”) has to be kept separate.
