Etymology
1. May belong to a word for "hair", which appears in Middle Irish find (“hair”), Dutch wenkbrauw (“eyebrow”), Old Prussian wanso (“first beard”), and Proto-Slavic *ǫsъ (“moustache”). The Greek word would have to represent a reduplicated formation *ϝί-ϝονθος (*wí-wonthos). All these words have been interpreted as verbal nouns from Proto-Indo-European *wendʰ- (“wind, turn”), with the specific Greek formation as *wi-wondʰ-o-s.
2. For a similar semantic shift, compare Georgian თმა (tma, “hair”) ~ Svan შდო̈მ (šdöm, “rash”). See: Dutch Nouns '
wenkbrauw'.
