"μήρινθος" meaning in Ancient Greek

See μήρινθος in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /mɛ̌ː.rin.tʰos/, /ˈmi.rin.θos/, /ˈmi.rin.θos/, /mɛ̌ː.rin.tʰos/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈme̝.rin.tʰos/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈmi.rin.θos/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈmi.rin.θos/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈmi.rin.θos/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: The suffix is similar to ἐρέβινθος (erébinthos), ὑάκινθος (huákinthos) and λαβύρινθος (labúrinthos), so it is probably a Pre-Greek word. Adaptation to μηρύομαι (mērúomai, “to draw up, to furl”) has also been assumed, however there is little reason for this. Maybe related to μῆριγξ (mêrinx, “bristle”).
