Quick Definition
rolling, wallowing
Strong's Definition
a wallow (the effect of rolling), i.e. filth
Derivation: from G2947 (κυλιόω);
KJV Usage: wallowing
Thayer's Greek Lexicon
κύλισμα, κυλισματος, τό (κυλίω, which see), thing rolled: with epexegetical genitive βορβόρου, rolled (wallowed) mud or mire, 2Pe_2:22 (R G L Tr marginal reading). The great majority take the word to mean 'wallowing-place', as if it were the same as κυλίστρα (Vulg.in volutabro luti). But just as τό ἐξέραμα signifies the vomit, thing vomited, and not the place of vomiting; so τό κύλισμα denotes nothing else than the thing rolled or wallowed. But see (the following word, and) βόρβορος.

Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
κυλισμός (~ κύλισμα ) [page 363]
The form κυλισμός , rolling, which is read in the best texts of 2Pe_2:22 , is found in Pro_2:18 (Theod.). For κύλισμα , as in the TR, cf. Eze_10:13 (Symm.), where, however, the word has its proper meaning, something rolled round, rather than a rolling-place as in the Petrine passage. In P Hib I. 110 (iii/B.C.) certain documents are described as κυλιστοί , rolls. According to the editors the difference from ἐπιστολαί , which are also mentioned, was perhaps one of size rather than of contents : cf. also Preisigke 1 .17 (iii/A.D.) κυλιστοὺς ἱματίων δέκα .
