Sounds Like: KAL-los
Translations: beauty, excellence, a beauty
From the root: ΚΑΛΛΟΣ
Part of Speech: Noun
Explanation: This word refers to beauty, excellence, or nobility, often in a moral or aesthetic sense. It describes something that is good, fine, or admirable in its appearance or character. The apostrophe-like mark (coronis) indicates a crasis (contraction) of two words, but in this specific instance, it is likely a typographical error or a non-standard representation of the word 'ΚΑΛΛΟΣ' itself, which does not typically form a crasis with other words to mean 'beauty'. Therefore, it is most likely a misspelling or an unusual rendering of the standard word for beauty.
