βάτραχος

The other day I wrote:
Interestingly, the first true frog: Triadobatrachus .... something.

For the life of me, I can't find the etymology of this word except for this "three-frogged." "Tri" = three and adobatrachus  or obatrachus "means" frog, but I don't know the Latin/Greek for adobatrachus. Maybe it's in the wiki entry but I missed it. I thought trachus might have something to do with trachea and maybe it does, but every time I do a wiki search for "trachus" it takes me to "tragus" (part of the ear). Adobo is a form of cooking so that's no help, unless they're talking about froglegs. LOL.
Finally, I found the origin of batrachus. But it appears philologists haven't been able to do much better.

It appears that batrahus is borrowed from Pre-Greek or Semitic (think the plague of frogs).
Pre-Greek consists of the unknown language or languages spoken in prehistoric Greece before the settlement of Proto-Greek speakers during the Middle and Late Bronze Age period in the area. It is possible that Greek took over some thousand words and proper names from such a language (or languages), because some of its vocabulary cannot be satisfactorily explained as deriving from the Proto-Greek language (also known as Proto-Hellenic, an Indo-European language).

Pre-Greek is not Indo-European.
"Helen of Troy" and the fall of Troy marked the end of the Late Bronze Age, and the beginning of the Iron Age, around 1200 BC.

Back to βάτραχος, it is only said, "seemingly imitative of croaking." A stretch. So, unless there's an incredibly new finding, we will probably not learn any more about how batrachus came about.
