[Meaning he/she/it] makes [something/someone] thin.
*katisxnoi=: kataleptu/nei.
The headword is third person singular, present indicative active, of
katisxno/w. It is perhaps quoted from its only other attested occurrence, in John Chrysostom (PG 6.560):
kai\ leptu/nei kai\ katisxnoi=.
Other lexica have the present infinitive, correspondingly glossed; see the references at
Photius kappa478, where Theodorodis regards it as quoted from Cyril of Alexandria.
The middle
katisxno/omai is more common (LSJ s.v.); cf.
kappa 1078.
