"ὄχλος" meaning in Ancient Greek

See ὄχλος in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ó.kʰlos/, /ˈo.xlos/, /ˈo.xlos/, /ó.kʰlos/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈo.kʰlos/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈo.xlos/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈo.xlos/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈo.xlos/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *woǵʰlos, from Proto-Indo-European *weǵʰ- (“to drive, transport”) (whence also ὄχος (ókhos) and Arcadocypriot Greek ϝέχω (wékhō, “to bear, bring”)), with cognates such as Old Norse vagl. The sense development from "driving, carrying" > "crowd" is unclear; possible interpretations include that crowds were seen as "emergent entities that carried power", or that carriers of goods attracted crowds. Compare also Old Armenian յոգն (yogn).
