Meaning & History

Latinized form of Ἀστύλοχος, derived from Greek ἄστυ (asty) meaning "city, town" and λόχος (lochos) meaning "ambush", a word that later came to signify a tactical sub unit of the ancient Greek army. The word is ultimately derived from the Greek verb λοχάω (lochao) meaning "to lie in wait for, to waylay" as well as "to snare".
