"κροσσός" meaning in Ancient Greek

See κροσσός in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /kros.sós/, /krosˈsos/, /kroˈsos/, /kros.sós/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /krosˈsos/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /krosˈsos/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /krosˈsos/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /kroˈsos/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Frisk's suggestion that the expression originally derives from weaving, connecting the word with κρόκη (krókē, “thread of the woof”), is not likely. As he notes, it seems that this word was back formed from κροσσωτός (krossōtós, “tasselled, fringed”), which is attested much earlier and better. The word κροσσωτός (krossōtós) was formed to the original κρόσσαι (króssai, “stepped copings of parapets”) after θυσανωτός (thusanōtós, “tasselled, fringed”) and was transferred from the sphere of architecture to that of tailor-work.
