See μέγαρον in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /mé.ɡa.ron/, /ˈme.ɣa.ron/, /ˈme.ɣa.ron/, /mé.ɡa.ron/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈme.ɡa.ron/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈme.ɣa.ron/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈme.ɣa.ron/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈme.ɣa.ron/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: In the "sacred pit" sense, borrowed from Semitic, perhaps with influence from the "hall" sense; compare Arabic مَغَارَة (maḡāra, “cave”), Hebrew מְעָרָה (məʿārâ, “cave”), Ugaritic 𐎎𐎙𐎗𐎚 (mġrt, “cave”). See also Latin māgālia (“huts”). In the "hall" sense, borrowed from Pre-Greek, albeit influenced in form and meaning by μέγας (mégas, “big, large”).
