Origin: GR [a formation built with Greek elements]

Etymology: From κουρά after the adv. in -( ί)ξ (Schwyzer 620, Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 250), meaning uncertain. Acc. to Aristarch = τῆς κόμης ἐπιλαβόμενοι, i. e. `(taking) at the hairs, at the crown', which is immediately understandable, though κουρά = `hair, crown' raises some doubts. Acc. to others (Bq s. v., WP. 2, 583) prop. ` taking (the crown) as in shaving', what fits the usual meaning of κουρά better. - Wrong interpretations ( κόρση, root of κάρᾱ) in Bq.
