כָּרוֹז (kārôz) is an Aramaic noun meaning herald. It appears 1 time in 1 book of the Hebrew Bible (Strong's H3744).
Root family 2802: כָרוֹז kārôz — herald. This is one of the three or four celebrated Greek words found in Daniel (3:4).

Dan 3:5 etc.) in the days of Daniel is to be expected. KB argues that kārôz is really derived from an Old Persian root cognate to the Greek word
