"κῶμος" meaning in Ancient Greek

See κῶμος in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /kɔ̂ː.mos/, /ˈko.mos/, /ˈko.mos/, /kɔ̂ː.mos/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈko.mos/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈko.mos/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈko.mos/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈko.mos/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: The origin is uncertain. Dunkel (apud LIV) derives from Proto-Indo-European *ḱómso-, from *ḱems- (“to announce, proclaim”), whence Sanskrit शंसति (śaṃsati, “to declare”), Proto-Iranian *cánhati (“to declare, explain”), Latin cēnseō (“to give an opinion”). On the other hand, Janda (apud LIV) derives from Proto-Indo-European *kóh₂-mo-, from *keh₂- (“to desire, wish”), whence Sanskrit काम (kā́ma, “desire, wish”), Latin cārus (“dear”). Beekes remarks that, since the precise development of the meaning of κῶμος (kômos) is uncertain, etymological suggestions remain highly hypothetical. He suggests that this is a Pre-Greek word, though does not discount the possibility of derivation from *ḱómso-.

He suggests that this is a Pre-Greek word, though does not discount the possibility of derivation from *ḱómso-.",
