Same entry in ps.-Zonaras; similar one, post-Suda, in Etymologicum Magnum 85.24. The headword is attested in Hellenistic and later poetry (Callimachus, Nicander, Oppian).
Despite the etymology suggested here, the headword itself and several other words related to it all have a smooth breathing: see LSJ (web address 1).
