rhiza

All we had learned about it was that it was made from the root of a plant containing a sweet juice, and that the Greek name of it was _glykyr-rhiza_, from _glykys_, sweet, and _rhiza_, root.

From John O'Groats to Land's End Robert Naylor

"In Greek, [Greek: rhiza]" - "[Greek: riza]" with soft breath mark in original.p. 62. "shall it not be said of England?"

Proserpina, Volume 1 Studies Of Wayside Flowers John Ruskin 1859

[13] Learn this word, at any rate; and if you know any Greek, learn also this group of words: "[Greek: hôs rhiza en gê dipsôsêi]," which you may chance to meet with, and even to think about, some day.

Proserpina, Volume 1 Studies Of Wayside Flowers John Ruskin 1859

What these saw by the Light of Nature, hath here divine Authority stamped upon it; God himself asserting the same thing by his Apostle, rhiza gar pantōn tōn kakōn estin hē philarguria, The Love of Money is the Root of all Evils; which, that we may the better understand, we must consider.

But for the use of arche in the sense and with the force which we here demand for it, as "principium," not "initium" (though these Latin words do not adequately reproduce the distinction), compare the Gospel of Nicodemus, c. 25, in which Hades addresses Satan as he tou thanatou arche kai rhiza tes hamartias; and further, Dionysius the Areopagite (c. 15): ho Theos estin panton aitia kai arche; and again, Clement of Alexandria (Strom.iv. 25): ho Theos de anarchos, arche ton holon panteles.
