köken: From Byzantine Greek (ἑ)κτικιό ((he)ktikió), from (ἑ)κτικιάζω ((he)ktikiázō, “to get consumption, to contract tuberculosis”), from Koine Greek ἑκτικός (hektikós, “habitual, hectic, consumptive”), from ἕξις (héxis, “a state or habit of body or of mind, condition”).
aile: χτικιάρης, χτικιάρα
Παλιά, παρά πολύ άνθρωποι έβγαλαν το χτικιό αλλά τώρα είναι θεραπεύσιμο.
Τ’ άλλου κοντόημερ’ η γυναίκα, Στο σπίτι λυώνει από χτικιό.
köken: From lunga (“lung”) + sot (“disease, sickness”). It should be noted that sot here is an archaic word for disease or sickness, inherited from Old Norse sótt, from Proto-Germanic *suhtiz. It is thus not related to the meaning of soot, which instead comes from Old Norse sót, from Proto-Germanic *sōtą.
