Derivational etymology. Lasserre and Livadaras follow Scheele, who attributes it to Soranus. However, there is nothing that explicitly points to Soranus and Scheele's edition of Soranus includes many etymologies that do not go back to him. It is likely that it comes from Orion, but we cannot go further back. The etymology refers to the metaphoric meaning "limb" (this is explicit in Ps.-Zonaras): the limbs support the body, therefore "lift" it. Therefore, it was designed in the perspective of etymologizing the names of the different body parts. This is the only element that could indeed point to Soranus. It cannot apply to the technical meaning "joint", nor to the grammatical meaning "article"
