"κροτών" meaning in Ancient Greek

See κροτών in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /kro.tɔ̌ːn/, /kroˈton/, /kroˈton/, /kro.tɔ̌ːn/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /kroˈton/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /kroˈton/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /kroˈton/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /kroˈton/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Probably a Semitic borrowing, compare Classical Syriac ܩܪܕܐ (qerdā, “tick; castor oil plant”), cognate to Arabic قُرَاد (qurād, “tick”), Tigrinya ቍርዲድ (ḳʷərdid), ቈርዳድ (ḳʷärdad, “tick”), Tigre ቀራድ (ḳärad, “tick”), Harari ቁርዱድ (ḳurdud, “tick”). Which dovetails with the other word for the castor oil plant κίκι (kíki) being borrowed from Egyptian.

  "etymology_text": "Probably a Semitic borrowing, compare Classical Syriac ܩܪܕܐ (qerdā, “tick; castor oil plant”), cognate to Arabic قُرَاد (qurād, “tick”), Tigrinya ቍርዲድ (ḳʷərdid), ቈርዳድ (ḳʷärdad, “tick”), Tigre ቀራድ (ḳärad, “tick”), Harari ቁርዱድ (ḳurdud, “tick”). Which dovetails with the other word for the castor oil plant κίκι (kíki) being borrowed from Egyptian.",
