Ἀτραπός· ἡ ὁδός, ἥτις λέγεται καὶ ἀταρπιτὸς καὶ ἀταρπός. εἴρηται παρὰ τὸ πατῶ καὶ κατ’ ἐπίτασιν τοῦ α, ἡ ἄγαν πατουμένη· ἄπατος, ἄταπος καὶ πλεονασμῷ τοῦ ρ ἀτραπός, καὶ ἐν παραγωγῇ ἀταρπιτός. ἢ παρὰ τὸ τρέπω, ἡ πολλὰς ἐκτροπὰς ἔχουσα, τοῦ ε εἰς α τραπέντος καὶ μετὰ τοῦ ἐπιτατικοῦ α ἀτραπός· κυρίως δὲ ἡ στενὴ ἐν ὄρει ὁδός
Translation (En)
Atrapos "path": the road, which is also called atarpitos and atarpos. It gets its name from patô "to tread", with the intensive a-, the much (agan) treaded one: *apatos, *atapos and through the addition of [r], atrapos, and the derivative is atarpitos. Or from trepō "to turn", the one which has many turns, with change of the [e] into [a], and with the intensive a-, atrapos. It refers properly to a narrow path in the mountain.
