If you haven't seen it before, there's a theory that Κύκλωψ : "cyclops" is traditionally understood as "round eye", but this may be an eggcorn of *pḱu-klṓps: "cattle-thief", after Greek lost the word *péḱu. The reinterpretation of the word may have led to a re-envisioning of the creature.
Indeed! As well as English “fee”: “payment”, pronounced much the same. And—through a borrowing from Frankish to Medieval Latin—“fief” and “feudalism”! https://www.aidanem.com/word-family-fee.html
