         DefinitionShort: (derivative of {L:εὐνοῦχος}[a] ‘eunuch,’ {D:9.25}) to cause a person to be a eunuch

         Glosses: ['to make a eunuch', 'to castrate']

         Comments: Sometimes one may render εὐνουχίζω as ‘to cause a person not to be able to have marital relations.’|In a number of languages the castration of a man is referred to by a term very different from what is employed in the case of the castration of an animal.
