Quotation
Εὖρος: Ἀπηλιώτης ἄνεμος· καὶ τὸ πλάτος, καὶ ὁ ῥοῦς τοῦ πυρός. Ὁ ἄνεμος, ‘Ὡς δ’ εὖρός τε νότος τε’. Παρὰ τὸ εὖρος, τὸ πλάτος, ἵν’ ᾖ ὁ πλατὺς καὶ ἐπίπλατος πνέων. Ἢ εὖρός τις ὤν· ἐπεὶ ἱδρωτοποιὸς διὰ θερμότητα. Ἢ ὁ ἀπὸ τῆς ἕω ῥέων, ἀνατολικός· ὁ γὰρ ἐναντίος αὐτῷ δυτικός· ζέφυρος δὲ, ὁ ἐκ τοῦ ζόφου ῥέων. Ἢ παρὰ τὴν αὖραν, τὴν πνοήν. Εὖρος οὐδετέρως, τὸ σημαντικὸν τοῦ πλάτους· δι’ οὗ ἐστιν εὖ ῥεῖν καὶ φέρεσθαι. Ἢ παρὰ τὸ ἕω, τὸ πορευόμενον εἰς πλάτος
Translation (En)
Euros. East wind. And also "breadth", and the flow of fire. The wind: "as the euros and the notos…" From euros "breadth, so that it is the one blowing broadly and widely. Or as an *euros "mould", as it were, for because of its warmth, it makes you sweat. Or from "flowing from the east", eastern – for the opposite wind, the western one, the zephyr, is the one flowing from the occident (zophos). Or from aura "breeze". Euros, neuter, which means the breadth, through which is is possible to flow well and to move on, Or from eō "to go", the one widely moving

Comment
Derivational etymology, requiring one formal change, from /au/ in the etymon to /eu/ in the lemma. The etymon is a generic term that can apply any wind, the lemma is a specific wind. Thus the lemma is assumed to be a hyponym of the etymon, to put it in modern terms
