[256] ἐνδυκέως. See note on “ἀδευκής Od.4. 489.Various etymologies have been proposed of the word; e. g. from “δεύκω”=“φροντίζω”, or from “ἐν-δύω” in the sense of ‘penetrating,’ ‘going thoroughly through.’ It is simpler to suppose a root “δευκ” or “δοκ”, the variation between “ο” and “υ” being caused by the influence of Aeolic: so that “ἐνδυκέως” will be nearly equivalent to “κατὰ δόξαν”, dec-enter. See Curtius, G. E. 589. But this so-called Aeolic change is open to some doubt here.
