askéō

askéō agr. ἀσκέω

Of unknown origin. Perhaps related to ἀσκός (askós, “skin, hide”). According to Morris, possibly borrowed from Egyptian sqr (“to strike, to work metal”), along with other metalworking terms used by Daedalus, such as Ἱκμάλιος (Hikmálios, “craftsman”) and ἕντεα (héntea, “armor, equipment”).
