Noun [Latin]

IPA: /ˈɡreks/ [Classical-Latin], [ˈɡrɛks̠] [Classical-Latin], /ˈɡreks/ (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical), [ˈɡrɛks] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: From Proto-Italic *greks, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂ger- (“to assemble, gather together”) (though de Vaan prefers to reconstruct the Proto-Italic as *gʷreg-, and the Proto-Indo-European as *gʷreg- (“group, herd”)). Cognates include Lithuanian gurguole (“mass, crowd”) and gurgulys (“chaos, confusion”), Old Church Slavonic гръсть (grŭstĭ, “handful”), Welsh gre (“herd”), Ancient Greek γάργαρα (gárgara, “heaps, lots (of people, etc.)”), Khotanese [script needed] (haṃ-grīs, “to gather, assemble”).
