"ἆθλον" meaning in Ancient Greek

See ἆθλον in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /âː.tʰlon/, /ˈa.θlon/, /ˈa.θlon/, /âː.tʰlon/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈa.tʰlon/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈa.θlon/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈa.θlon/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈa.θlon/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: From an earlier *ἄϝεθλον (*áwethlon), traditionally derived from Proto-Indo-European *h₂weh₁- (“to blow (of wind)”) + *-dʰlom (forms nouns denoting tool or instrument), as if "gasp, pant, wheeze", if not from a similar root meaning "to strive". Other theories compare the word to Sanskrit वायति (vāyati, “to be tired”), the latter from Proto-Indo-European *h₁weh₂- (“to leave, abandon”). However, Beekes dismisses the connection with the Sanskrit and does not mention the *h₂weh₁- derivation, instead deriving the Greek from a Proto-Indo-European *h₂wedʰ- (“to contest, compete”), albeit with no known cognates outside of Greek.

Other theories compare the word to Sanskrit वायति (vāyati, “to be tired”), the latter from Proto-Indo-European *h₁weh₂- (“to leave, abandon”).\nHowever, Beekes dismisses the connection with the Sanskrit and does not mention the *h₂weh₁- derivation, instead deriving the Greek from a Proto-Indo-European *h₂wedʰ- (“to contest, compete”), albeit with no known cognates outside of Greek.",
