κουριδίης, a difficult word; the most plausible, but not entirely satisfactory, explanation is that of Curtius (Stud. i. 253), who derives it from κείρω, and refers it to the custom of cutting the bride's hair before marriage; hence ‘wedded.’ So κοῦρος from the custom of cutting the πλόκαμος θρεπτήριος at the age of puberty. |
