ἄγρυπνος

See also: άγρυπνος

Ancient Greek

Etymology

Likely a combination of ἀγρός (agrós, “field”) +‎ ῠ̔́πνος (hŭ́pnos, “sleep”), originally meaning "who sleeps outside", and ᾰ̓́γρᾱ (ắgrā, “hunt; chase”) +‎ ῠ̔́πνος (hŭ́pnos, “sleep”), meaning "chasing for sleep". Both derive from Proto-Indo-European *h₂eǵro-.
