"πύξος" meaning in Ancient Greek

See πύξος in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /pýk.sos/, /ˈpyk.sos/, /ˈpik.sos/, /pýk.sos/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈpyk.sos/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈpyk.sos/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈpyk.sos/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈpik.sos/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Probably a substrate loanword from Italy, related to Latin buxus (“box tree”). Attempts by Scardigli, who looks for the origin of the term in Asia Minor, and by Carnoy, who connects it to Proto-Indo-European *bʰewgʰ- (“to bend”), are unconvincing.
