"ἀγαθός" meaning in Ancient Greek

See ἀγαθός in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Adjective

IPA: /a.ɡa.tʰós/, /a.ɣaˈθos/, /a.ɣaˈθos/, /a.ɡa.tʰós/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /a.ɡaˈtʰos/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /a.ɣaˈθos/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /a.ɣaˈθos/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /a.ɣaˈθos/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Possibly from Proto-Hellenic *əgatʰós, from Proto-Indo-European *m̥ǵh₂dʰh₁ós (“made great; whose deeds are great”), from *méǵh₂s (“great”) + *dʰeh₁- (“do”) + *-ós. Compare Latin magnificus from same roots. Beekes notes that if the glossing synonyms ἀκαθός (akathós) and χάσιος (khásios) are related to ἀγαθός (agathós), one would be forced to assume Pre-Greek borrowing instead.
