Quotation

Διαρρήδην· ἀπὸ τοῦ ῥῶ δηλοῦντος τὸ λέγω, οὗ ὁ μέλλων ῥήσω, ἔνθεν ῥῆσις καὶ ῥήτωρ καὶ ἐπίρρημα ῥήδην {ἀπὸ τοῦ ῥήσω} καὶ σύνθετον διαρρήδην καὶ ἐπιρρήδην.

Translation (En)

Diarrēdēn "explicitly": from *rhō which means "to speak", the future of which is rhēsō, from which come rhēsis "saying", rhētōr "public speaker", the adverb *rhēdēn and diarrēdēn and epirrēdēn "by name" as compounds.

Other translation(s)

Diarrēdēn « en termes précis » : à partir de *rhō qui signifie « parler », dont le futur est rhēsō, duquel viennent rhēsis « parole », rhētōr « orateur », l’adverbe *rhēdēn et comme composés diarrēdēn et epirrēdēn « nominalement ».

Comment

Correct derivational etymology, starting from the future of the monosyllabic verb *ῥῶ assumed as the base of ῥήτωρ, ἐρρήθην etc.
