βωλίτης
Ancient Greek edit
Alternative forms edit
- βωλήτης (bōlḗtēs)
Etymology edit
According to Beekes, the original form βωλήτης (bōlḗtēs) was borrowed from Latin bōlētus, named after the town Boletum (present day Boltaña in Spain, famous for its mushrooms). βωλίτης was remodelled after its derivatives and borrowed back into Latin again by Pliny. The meaning of "root" is influenced by βῶλος (bôlos).[1]
Perhaps cognate with Proto-Slavic *bъdla.
