"etymology_text": "From the o-grade κοντ‑ of the root κεντ‑ underlying κεντέω, -ῶ (kentéō, -ô, “prick”), κέντρον (kéntron, “centre”). The suffix is -ός (-ós, deverbal adjective and noun suffix).\nThe Hellenistic Koine \"short\" sense is derived from the ancient \"pole\" sense, which referred to shorter kinds of spears, poles, hence \"(short) pole\" > \"shortness\". Compare κοντοφόρος (kontophóros, “carrying a (short) pole”) in contrast to δορῠφόρος (dorŭphóros, “carrying a (long) spear”).\nNot related to ἀκόντιον (akóntion, “javelin”).",
