"ἀκροβυστία" meaning in Ancient Greek

See ἀκροβυστία in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /a.kro.bys.tí.aː/, /a.kro.βysˈti.a/, /a.kro.visˈti.a/, /a.kro.bys.tí.aː/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /a.kro.bysˈti.a/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /a.kro.βysˈti.a/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /a.kro.vysˈti.a/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /a.kro.visˈti.a/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: The first element is ἄκρος (ákros, “topmost, outermost”). The second element is uncertain. Was traditionally thought to be βύω (búō, “to stuff, plug”), but this is almost certainly incorrect. The word could be an alternative form of ἀκροποσθία (akroposthía, “foreskin”), making the second element akin to πόσθη (pósthē, “penis, foreskin”). Could also be from a Semitic root, such as Hebrew בֹּשֶׁת (bōšeṯ, “shame”).
