θάρσος: παρὰ τὸ θέρω τὸ θερμαίνω ὁ μέλλων Αἰολικὸς θέρσω, ῥηματικὸν ὄνομα θέρσος καὶ τροπῇ τοῦ ε εἰς α θάρσος, ἀφ’ οὗ θρασεῖς, καθ’ ὑπέρθεσιν τοῦ ρ· οἱ γὰρ θερμοὶ καὶ θρασεῖς καὶ θαρσαλέος ὁ ἀνδρεῖος.
Translation (En)
Tharsos "boldness": from therō "to heat", the Aeolic future is thersō, hence a verbal noun thersos, and by change of [e] into [a], tharsos. From there, by metathesis of the [r], thraseîs "bold", because those who are hot are bold, and tharsaleos means "bold"
