Noun [Ancient Greek]

IPA: /hɛ̌ː.rɔːs/, /ˈi.ros/, /ˈi.ros/, /hɛ̌ː.rɔːs/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈ(h)e̝.ros/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈi.ros/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈi.ros/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈi.ros/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Traditionally derived from Proto-Indo-European *ser- (“watch over, protect”), though Beekes derives the word from a pre-Greek substrate, based on the form of the Mycenaean cognate [script needed] (ti-ri-se-ro-e). Cognate with Latin servō and possibly Ἥρα (Hḗra).
