χέρι
Lemma: χέρι
Translation: hand; arm; grip; handle (noun)
Etymology: From Ancient Greek χέριον (khérion), diminutive of χείρ (kheír, 'hand'). The Ancient Greek χείρ is cognate with English 'surgeon' (from Greek χειρουργός, 'one who works with hands') and 'chiropractor'. The Indo-European root *ǵʰes- is also related to Sanskrit हस्त (hasta) and Hittite keššar, all meaning 'hand'.
