See σπάνις in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /spá.nis/, /ˈspa.nis/, /ˈspa.nis/, /spá.nis/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈspa.nis/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈspa.nis/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈspa.nis/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈspa.nis/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Of disputed origin: * Frisk takes the word as a derivative in -νι- of σπάω (spáō, “to draw, pluck”). * Furnee connects Homeric terms such as ἠπανᾷ (ēpanâi), -νεῖ (-neî)· ἀπορεῖ (aporeî), σπανίζει (spanízei), ἀμηχανεῖ (amēkhaneî, “is without resource”), assuming that the initial σ- and α- in the terms are prothetic. This suggests a Pre-Greek origin.
