STRONGS G718:
ἁρμόζω, Attic ἁρμόττω: 1 aorist middle ἡρμοσάμην; (ἁρμός, which see);
1. to join, to fit together; so in Homer of carpenters, fastening together beams and planks to build houses, ships, etc.
2. of marriage: ἁρμόζειν τινὶ τὴν θυγατέρα (Herodotus 9, 108) to betroth a daughter to anyone; passive ἁρμόζεται γυνὴ ἀνδρί, Sept. Proverbs 19:14; middle ἁρμόσασθαι τὴν θυγατέρα τινός (Herodotus 5, 32; 47; 6, 65) to join to oneself, i. e. to marry, the daughter of anyone; ἁρμόσασθαί τινί τινα to betroth, to give one in marriage to anyone: 2 Corinthians 11:2, and often in Philo, cf.

Buttmann, 193 (167); per contra Meyer at the passage; Winer's Grammar, 258 (242)].
