IPA: /kŷː.ros/, /ˈcy.ros/, /ˈci.ros/, /kŷː.ros/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈky.ros/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈcy.ros/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈcy.ros/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈci.ros/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: From Proto-Hellenic *kūrós, from Proto-Indo-European *ḱuh₁-ró-s, from *ḱewh₁- (“to swell, be strong”), the same root of κυέω (kuéō, “to be pregnant”), κῦμα (kûma, “wave”), Sanskrit शवस् (śavas, “strength, power”) and Irish curadh (“hero”). κῡ́ρῐος (kū́rios, “lord”) is not a derivative; rather, κῦρος (kûros) is a back-formation from the former.
