[Meaning] bad-judging.
*duse/ktwn: dusgnw/mwn.
Both headword (ignored in LSJ) and gloss are unattested outside lexicography, where they appear together (the latter with the variant
dusgnwmo/nwn, a hapax legomenon, in
Photius,
Lexicon delta810).
Adrados’
Diccionario (see bibliography below) s.v., quoting this entry, considers
duse/ktwn the genitive plural of
duse/kths. But more probably, given the glossing (and the affinity of
dusgnw/mwn with
a)gnw/mwn), it is nominative singular; if so, headword and gloss alike are nasal forms of the third declension.
The etymology of
duse/ktwn itself may derive from the combination of
dus- with
e)/xw (cf. the verbal adjective
e)kte/os), 'I have/hold', here figuratively 'I hold mentally, 'I understand'.
