"διάκονος" meaning in Ancient Greek

See διάκονος in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /di.ǎː.ko.nos/, /ðiˈa.ko.nos/, /ðiˈa.ko.nos/, /di.ǎː.ko.nos/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /diˈa.ko.nos/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ðiˈa.ko.nos/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ðiˈa.ko.nos/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ðiˈa.ko.nos/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: δῐᾰ- (dia-) + Proto-Indo-European *kón-os, from *ken- (“to set oneself in motion”). The length of the ᾱ (ā) is explained by Brugmann and Boisacq as by analogy to long vowels that occurred in compounds where the second element started with a vowel.
