Ancient Greek[edit]
Alternative forms[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Traditionally derived from a reduplicated form of Proto-Indo-European *(s)ker- (“to bend, turn”).[1] However, due to the relation with κίρκος (kírkos, “ring”), whose root structure cannot be smoothly reconstructed back to Proto-Indo-European, Beekes is skeptical of current explanations, and refrains from assigning any etymology.[2]

- (5th BCE Attic) IPA(key): /krí.kos/
