Which Greek word you have in mind, because when transcribed in Latin letters makes no sense to me.
'ελκυσιολοι', which admittedly would normally be written as 'elkusioloi' in Latinised form. But IIRC kappa in (some dialects of?) Ancient Greek can be transliterated as 'h'? I briefly studied Greek 20 years ago, but my knowledge is extremely hazy by now...
Doesn't ring a bell, but I guess it is a derivative of the verb έλκω which means to attract. I need to ask a friend of mine who is a teacher of Modern and Ancient Greek.
I am native speaker of Modern Greek but my Ancient Greek is quite poor to be honest.
