εὐρύχορος

εὐρύχορος

Ancient Greek

Etymology

Alternative form of εὐρύχωρος (eurúkhōros), with metrical shortening of ω to ο to avoid having a single light syllable (ρυ) between two heavy syllables (εὐ and χω). However, some dictionaries believe it to have a separate etymology, being εὐρύς (eurús, “wide, broad”) +‎ χορός (khorós, “dance ring”) with the original meaning “having broad dancing places, spacious enough for dancing”.
