collybista

== Latin == === Etymology === From Ancient Greek κολλυβιστής (kollubistḗs, “money-changer”), from Ancient Greek κόλλυβος (kóllubos, “a small coin”) + -ιστής (-istḗs, “-ist”), said to be of Semitic origin according to Lewy, from Proto-Semitic *ḫalap- (“to exchange, go beyond”), but Beekes prefers a Pre-Greek origin due to the -υβ element being unexplainable by the Semitic. === Noun === collybista m (genitive collybistae); first declension (Late Latin, hapax legomenon) money-changer, banker ==== Declension ==== First-declension noun. ==== References ==== “collybista”, in Charlton T.
