Talk:Apotropos

Derivation
In a 4 January edit you added "Some people erroneously think that it comes from ἀπότροπος". Since ἁπότροπος is the derivation mentioned in the Encyclopaedia Judaica article and the Encyclopedia of Greek Language and Linguistics Online, accessed via the Wikipedia Library, suggests both "( apotropos ‘manager’ < Heb. apotropos אפוטרופוס ‘legal guardian’ < επίτροπος/απότροπος )" it would be useful if you could add a citation indicating who has said it's erroneous. Has there been discussion on its derivation in journals and/or books? Mcljlm (talk) 23:10, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
