παντζούρι

Greek

Etymology

Borrowed from Turkish pancur, panjur + -ι (-i).^[1] Nishanyan derives the Turkish from a French pare-jour (“light-organizing; lattice cage”, literally “adorn-daylight”);^[2] however, the French term apparently lacks attestation in texts, in addition to the term bearing strong resemblance to Persian (panjere, “window, lattice”) (which was borrowed into Ottoman Turkish as پنجره (pencere)). Other theories consider the Turkish as borrowed from French abat-jour (“lampshade”) (which was borrowed into Greek as αμπαζούρ (ampazoúr)); however, this is phonetically less likely.
