Brown-Driver-Briggs Expanded Definition

כִּסְלֵו proper name [masculine] kislew, ninth month (post-exilic) = November-December, Zechariah 7:1; ׳בְּחֹדֶשׁ כ Nehemiah 1:1 (ᵑ7 id.; loan-word from Babylonian kislimu, kislivu, Muss-Arn^{JBL 1892,167}; conjectures on etymology by Jen^{ZA ii, 210, Anm. 3} Hpt^{ib. 265, Anm. 2}; Palmyrene כסלול Vog^{No. 24}; Greek χασελευ I Makk Nehemiah 1:54).

Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

כִּסְלֵו m. Zechariah 7:1; Nehemiah 1:1 [Chisleu], Greek Χασελεῦ, 1Ma_1:54, the ninth of the Hebrew months, beginning at the new moon of December. Its etymology is altogether uncertain. It may, however, be so called from the languor and torpidity of nature. [In Thes. derived from the Persic.]
