λοπάς

Possibly from λοπός (lopós, “shell, scale; bark”) +‎ -ᾰ́ς (-ắs). Ultimately from the same root of λέπω (lépō, “to peel”). See also λεπάς (lepás, “limpet”) for a similar derivation.

λοπᾰ́ς • (lopắs) f (genitive λοπᾰ́δος); third declension

1. flat dish, plate
2. pan
3. (botany) callus or knot caused by disease (especially on olive trees)

   Synonyms: ἧλος (hêlos), μῠ́κης (mŭ́kēs)

   • 371 BCE – 287 BCE, Theophrastus, Historia Plantarum 4.14.3:

     Ἡ δ' ἐλάα πρὸς τῷ τοὺς σκώληκας ἴσχειν, οἳ δὴ καὶ τὴν συκῆν διαφθείρουσιν ἐντίκτοντες, φύει καὶ ἧλον· οἱ δὲ μύκητα καλοῦσιν, ἔνιοι δὲ λοπάδα· τοῦτο δ' ἐστὶν οἷον ἡλίου καῦσις.

     Hē d’ eláa pròs tōî toùs skṓlēkas ískhein, hoì dḕ kaì tḕn sukên diaphtheírousin entíktontes, phúei kaì hêlon; hoi dè múkēta kaloûsin, énioi dè lopáda; toûto d’ estìn hoîon hēlíou kaûsis.
