Etymology
Κούκλος is the masculine counterpart of κούκλα, the everyday Greek word for a doll. Κούκλα itself entered Greek through Venetian or Italian trade contact during the medieval period. Speakers later built κούκλος from it by simple gender switching, to describe a strikingly handsome man the way κούκλα already described a beautiful woman or an actual doll.
