Etymology: The entry by Beekes in his Etymological Dictionary of Greek reads (in close paraphrase): "Not well explained. Connected with κάνθων (kánthōn, “ass, donkey”) and κανθήλιος (kanthḗlios, “ass, donkey”) by Strömberg, with the same suffix as in χίμαρος (khímaros) and κίσσαρος (kíssaros). Hardly probable. DELG points out that there are anthroponyms and toponyms like Κάνθαρος (Kántharos, “a port of Piraeus”) and concludes from this that the term may be of Pre-Greek origin, which is likely. As Akkadian 𒃶𒁺 (/⁠kandu⁠/, “jar for wine”), considered a loan from West Semitic, and Akkadian 𒃶𒁺𒊒𒌑 (/⁠kanduru⁠/, “kind of vessel”) exist, itself from Sumerian 𒄑𒃶𒉡𒌉 (/⁠gannu-tur⁠/, “small vessel; potstand”, literally “little vessel, container, holder”), it would be a loan in this meaning."

  "etymology_text": "The entry by Beekes in his Etymological Dictionary of Greek reads (in close paraphrase):\n\"Not well explained. Connected with κάνθων (kánthōn, “ass, donkey”) and κανθήλιος (kanthḗlios, “ass, donkey”) by Strömberg, with the same suffix as in χίμαρος (khímaros) and κίσσαρος (kíssaros). Hardly probable. DELG points out that there are anthroponyms and toponyms like Κάνθαρος (Kántharos, “a port of Piraeus”) and concludes from this that the term may be of Pre-Greek origin, which is likely. As Akkadian 𒃶𒁺 (/⁠kandu⁠/, “jar for wine”), considered a loan from West Semitic, and Akkadian 𒃶𒁺𒊒𒌑 (/⁠kanduru⁠/, “kind of vessel”) exist, itself from Sumerian 𒄑𒃶𒉡𒌉 (/⁠gannu-tur⁠/, “small vessel; potstand”, literally “little vessel, container, holder”), it would be a loan in this meaning.\"",
