*(rwsth/rion: parormhth/rion.

The headword and gloss, both of them unattested outside lexicography, are neuter nouns in the nominative/vocative/accusative singular.
Same entry in Photius' Lexicon (rho214 Theodoridis). Hesychius has a longer and more elaborate gloss for the present headword (rho592) and, apparently, applies the present gloss to a related term, r(wphth/rion (rho578).
