Brown-Driver-Briggs Expanded Definition

עַכָּבִישׁ noun masculine spider (ᵑ7עַכּוּבִיתָא, עַכָּבִיתָא; whence Arabic

as loan-word; Late Hebrew עַכְשׁוּב probably tarantula, according to Levy^{NHWB iii.648}); — ׳בֵּית ע Job 8:14i.e. web, so probably Job 27:18 (reading ׳ע for ᵑ0עָשׁ); compare ׳קוּרֵי ע Isaiah 59:5 filaments of a spider.

Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

עַכָּבִישׁ a spider, Job 8:4; Isaiah 59:5 (Arabic عَنْكَبوُثُ, Chaldee עַכּוּבִיתָא). It seems to be compounded of the verb עכשׁ, Arab. عكش to weave (as a spider), and عَكْبُ [עָכַב] agile, swift as if agile weaver, compare German Spinne, from spinning, and the Gr. ἀράχνη from the Phœnicio-Shemitic אָרַג to weave.
