"χωλός" meaning in Ancient Greek

See χωλός in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Adjective

IPA: /kʰɔː.lós/, /xoˈlos/, /xoˈlos/, /kʰɔː.lós/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /kʰoˈlos/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /xoˈlos/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /xoˈlos/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /xoˈlos/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Seemingly, a formation with the suffix -λός like στρεβλός (streblós) and τυφλός (tuphlós), but without obvious etymology. Perhaps it belongs to χαλάω (khaláō, “to slacken, relax”) or perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰeh₁- (“to leave behind, abandon”), the same root of χήρα (khḗra, “widow”), because a lame person is someone who lags or stays behind. Connections to Sanskrit खोर are uncertain.
