عجور
Arabic
Etymology
Disputed etymology largely in where it originates and the direction it was borrowed:
- From Middle Persian ʾngwl (angūr, “grape”) or alternatively Middle Persian ʾncyl (anjīr, “fig”); applied then generically to a green produce. Cognates with Persian غوره (ğure, “unripe, green produce; sour grapes”), Persian انگور (angur, “grapes”), Aramaic גורקא (gūraqā, “unripe fruit”), Aramaic גורג (gūrg, “wine made from unripe grapes”), and more distantly Sanskrit अङ्कुर (aṅkura, “shoot, bud, sprout”).
- Perhaps semantically derived from Byzantine Greek ἀγγούριον (angoúrion); compare its Slavic and Germanic descendants, Russian огуре́ц (oguréc, “cucumber”), German Gurke (“cucumber”); derived from Greek άγουρος (ágouros, “unripe, green, immature, inexperienced”), which disputably derives from Pahlavi, Aramaic, or natively from Ancient Greek ἄωρος (áōros, “immature, green, unripe”, literally “ἀ-+ὥρα, not season or time”).
