==Etymology== The name of the Hamadryades was compounded from the ancient Greek words háma ({{lang|grc|ἅμα}}, Doric: {{lang|grc|ἁμᾶ}}, "together, concurrently"<ref>{{cite web |title=ἅμα |url=https://logeion.uchicago.edu/%E1%BC%85%CE%BC%CE%B1 |website=Logeion |publisher=The University of Chicago |access-date=26 July 2023}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=ἁμᾶ - Ancient Greek (LSJ) |url=https://lsj.gr/wiki/%E1%BC%81%CE%BC%E1%BE%B6 |website=Liddell, Scott, Jones Ancient Greek Lexicon |access-date=26 July 2023}}</ref>) and dryás ({{lang|grc|δρυάς}}, "tree, wood nymph"<ref>{{cite web |title=Δρυάς |url=https://logeion.uchicago.edu/%CE%94%CF%81%CF%85%CE%AC%CF%82 |website=Logeion |publisher=The University of Chicago |access-date=26 July 2023}}</ref>). This informs the understanding that the life of a Hamadryas is concurrent with that of its tree: one cannot exist without the other.
