ἰσχύς
Ancient Greek
Etymology
Beekes assumes Pre-Greek origin.
According to Gamkrelidze / Ivanov, a Kartvelian borrowing. Compare Proto-Georgian-Zan *s₁xu- (“fat, stout”), whence also Old Georgian სხუილი (sxuili), სხჳლი (sxwili, “thick”), Mingrelian შხუ (šxu, “fat”) and Laz ჩხუ (čxu), მჩხუ (mčxu, “fat”).
