"καῖρος" meaning in Ancient Greek

See καῖρος in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /kâi̯.ros/, /ˈcɛ.ros/, /ˈce.ros/, /kâi̯.ros/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈkɛ.ros/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈcɛ.ros/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈce.ros/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈce.ros/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: According to Beekes, “a technical expression of unclear meaning and therefore etymologically difficult.” According to Petersson, it is related to Old Armenian սարիք (sarikʻ, “sling, rope”) as well as to սարդ (sard, “spider”), while Cimochowski connected it with Albanian thur (“twine, weave”). All these connections derive from Proto-Indo-European *ḱer- (“to plait, weave”).
