Where this word comes from

From Ancient Greek κολλυβιστής (kollubistḗs, “money-changer”), from Ancient Greek κόλλυβος (kóllubos, “a small coin”) + -ιστής (-istḗs, “-ist”), said to be of Semitic origin according to Lewy, from Proto-Semitic *ḫalap- (“to exchange, go beyond”), but Beekes prefers a Pre-Greek origin due to the -υβ element being unexplainable by the Semitic.
