Οὐ γὰρ ἀργίας ὤνιονὑγίεια καὶ ἀπραξίας, ἅ γε δὴ μέγιστα κακῶν ταῖς νόσοις πρόσεστι, καὶ οὐδὲν διαφέρει τοῦ τὰ ὄμματα τῷ μὴ διαβλέπειν καὶ τὴν φωνὴν τῷ μὴ φθέγγεσθαι φυλάττοντος ὁ τὴν ὑγίειαν ἀχρηστίᾳ καὶ ἡσυχίᾳ σῴζειν οἰόμενος → For health is not to be purchased by idleness and inactivity, which are the greatest evils attendant on sickness, and the man who thinks to conserve his health by uselessness and ease does not differ from him who guards his eyes by not seeing, and his voice by not speaking

Frisk Etymological English

Grammatical information: m.
Meaning: curly hair, lock of hair (Com., Theoc., AP ).
Derivatives: PN Κικιννᾶς L. Robert, Noms indigènes 268
Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]
Etymology: Foreign cultural word (Aegaean or Anatolian?; cf. Schrader-Nehring Reallex. 1, 420). From there Lat. cincinnus; cf. W.-Hofmann s. v. with further details. Fur. 278 is prob. right to assume for it a prenasalized form *κιγκιννος. The word, then, will be Pre-Greek. Wrong etymologies in Bq.

κῐ́κιννος, ὁ,
a ringlet, Lat. cincinnus, Ar., Theocr.
