Translation

[Meaning] the priest's garment. [So named] from coming close to the ground [pedon].

Greek original · Adler’s text

Κράσπεδον· τὸ ἱμάτιον τοῦ ἱερέως. παρὰ τὸ εἰς τὸ πέδον ἐγγίζειν.

Betacode

*kra/spedon: to\ i(ma/tion tou= i(ere/ws. para\ to\ ei)s to\ pe/don e)ggi/zein.

Notes

cf. Etymologicum Magnum 534.55; perhaps (as Adler notes) from comment on Matthew 9.20, where the woman with a flow of blood touches the hem of Jesus' garment (web address 1).
See also kappa 2330 (a figurative sense of this word).
