"σκορπίος" meaning in Ancient Greek

See σκορπίος in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /skor.pí.os/, /skorˈpi.os/, /skorˈpi.os/, /skor.pí.os/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /skorˈpi.os/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /skorˈpi.os/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /skorˈpi.os/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /skorˈpi.os/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Sometimes suggested to be from Proto-Indo-European *(s)ker- (“to cut”), but Beekes notes that it is more likely a Pre-Greek loanword instead, with a pre-form along the lines of *karaᵐp-, and possibly related to κᾱ́ρᾰβος (kā́răbos, “beetle, crustacean”), κερᾰ́μβῠξ (kerắmbŭx, “longhorn beetle”), κηρᾰφῐ́ς (kērăphĭ́s, “a kind of locust”).
