"ἶρις" meaning in Ancient Greek

See ἶρις in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /îː.ris/, /ˈi.ris/, /ˈi.ris/, /îː.ris/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈi.ris/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈi.ris/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈi.ris/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈi.ris/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Presuming an earlier form *ϝῖρις (*wîris), then from Proto-Indo-European *weh₁i-r(o)- (“a twist, thread, cord, wire”), from *weh₁i- (“to turn, twist, weave, plait”). Cognates include English wire, Swedish vira (“to twist”), Latin vieō (“weave together”), Welsh gŵyr (“bent”). Alternatively, Furnée argues for Pre-Greek origin to account for the irregular variation between ⟨ε⟩ and ⟨ι⟩; Beekes concurs.
