"ἑρμηνεύς" meaning in Ancient Greek

See ἑρμηνεύς in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /her.mɛː.něu̯s/, /er.miˈneɸs/, /er.miˈnefs/, /her.mɛː.něu̯s/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /(h)er.me̝ˈnews/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /er.miˈneɸs/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /er.miˈnefs/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /er.miˈnefs/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Most plausibly assumed from pre-Carian *armān preceding attested Carian 𐊠𐊥𐊪𐊫𐊵 (armon, “interpreter”). Older modern etymologies sometimes incorrectly connect it with εἴρω (eírō) (either sense), Latin sermō, folk etymology often connects it with Ἑρμῆς (Hermês)—influence of this word cannot be excluded.
