In view of the characterization by Epicharmus as μεγαλοχάσμων (megalokhásmōn, “wide-gaping”), connection with χαίνω (khaínō, “to yawn, gape”) with expressive gemination has been proposed. Thompson considers a foreign derivation from Egyptian [script needed] (chnā, “unknown kind of fish”), while Furnée suggests a Pre-Greek origin comparing this word with χέννιον (khénnion, “kind of fish”), showing alternation α/ε.

Given the fish name ἠλακατήν (ēlakatḗn, “kind of tunny”), which derives from ἠλακάτη (ēlakátē, “distaff, spindle”), one would posit a basic word *κάμασος, with suffixal -ασος like in πέτασος (pétasos, “broad-brimmed hat”). It has been connected with Balto-Slavic words for the "sheatfish", such as Lithuanian šāmas, Latvian sams and Russian сом (som). Further connected with κάμαξ (kámax, “pole, bar”) by Solmsen. Probably a loan from the European substrate. Furnée connects it with κάβαισος (kábaisos, “glutton, gourmand”) and καμασός (kamasós, “gulf, pit”), but without evidence.

χρέμψ

According to Strömberg, it could be a back-formation from the verb χρέμπτομαι (khrémptomai, “to clear one's throat”). Beekes proposes a derivation from Proto-Indo-European *gʰrem- (“to resound, thunder, grumble, roar”), a root found in other fish names, such as χρέμης (khrémēs) and χρόμις (khrómis), and in the verb χρεμετίζω (khremetízō, “to neigh, whinny”).
