"λάτρις" meaning in All languages combined

See λάτρις on Wiktionary

Noun [Ancient Greek]

IPA: /lá.tris/, /ˈla.tris/, /ˈla.tris/, /lá.tris/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈla.tris/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈla.tris/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈla.tris/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈla.tris/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: From λᾰ́τρον (lắtron, “hire, payment”), putatively from Proto-Indo-European *leh₂t- (“to grant; to possess”) or *leh₁-t- (“to let, grant”), thereby cognate with Proto-Germanic *lēþą (“possession, ownership”) (though there are phonetic problems) and Latin latrō (“mercenary”). On the other hand, Beekes rejects the Indo-European etymology and suggests Pre-Greek origin. He considers -ρ- (-r-) in this case to be a Pre-Greek suffix. The Latin cognate may instead be borrowed from an unattested form *λάτρων (*látrōn).
