Staurus meant > an upright pole, and never changed. Nonsense. STAUROS meant "cross" and not "upright pole." A upright pole without a cross-brace or cross-beam was called, MONOS STAUROS. The word STAUROS by itself without adjective signifies a pole with a cross-member. Thus a tree, or fence post, or ship mast, or torture cross were all called, STAUROS. Meanwhile a straight pole without a cross-member was prefixed with MONOS, making it MONOS STAUROS. Your folk etymology is just false. -- NightBulb | https://nightbulb.net | Flip the night switch.
