"σπέλεθος" meaning in Ancient Greek

See σπέλεθος in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /spé.le.tʰos/, /ˈspe.le.θos/, /ˈspe.le.θos/, /spé.le.tʰos/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈspe.le.tʰos/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈspe.le.θos/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈspe.le.θos/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈspe.le.θos/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: The formation is similar to σπύραθος (spúrathos) and ὄνθος (ónthos). A derivation from Proto-Indo-European *(s)pley- (“to split, splice”) is semantically possible comparing Proto-Germanic *skītaną (“to defecate”), which derives from Proto-Indo-European *skeyd- (“to cut off”). Alternatively, Beekes suggests a Pre-Greek origin.
