- ξύλοχοςGrammatical information: f.Meaning: `λόχμη, lair', also `thicket, bush'? (Hom., AP, Anakreont., also late prose).Derivatives: ξυλοχίζομαι (-ίσδ-) prob. = ξυλίζομαι (Theoc. 5,65; s. ξύλον).Origin: GR [a formation built with Greek elements]Etymology: Of old explained from *ξυλό-λοχος through haplology; the exacter semantic interpretation remains uncertain; cf. Solmsen Unt. 97 n. 1 (p. 98). Because of the femin. gender (after λόχμη?) Bechtel Lex. s. v. points to the possibility of adjectival origin; so prop. "having dry wood as bed" (sc. εὑνή)?Page in Frisk: 2,
