Quotation

φύξηλιν: παράγωγον A Til ἀπὸ τοῦ φύξω μέλλοντος, Til | φυγάδα ὄντα καὶ δειλόν

Translation (En)

Phuxēlin: derivative. From the future *phuxō "I will flee": it means a fugitive and cowardly man

Comment

Derivational etymology starting from the future. The presence of this explanation in both the A and T scholia implies that it dates back to the 6th c. at the latest

Modern etymology

Derivative of φεύγω, belonging with φυγή, φύζα, πρόσφυξ. PIE *bheug- "to flee", cognate with Lat. fugio (Beekes, EDG)

Persistence in Modern Greek

No
