πλάτανος
Ancient Greek edit
Alternative forms edit
- πλατάνιστος (platánistos)
Etymology edit
The word has been derived from πλατύς (platús, “broad, flat”), or presumed inherited directly from Proto-Indo-European *pl̥th₂enós, under the assumption that the tree was named after its broad leaves or flat patches of bark. According to Beekes, this etymology must be rejected in view of the opaque derivation of the oldest attested form πλατάνιστος (platánistos). Instead, it can be assumed that the name of this tree was borrowed from Pre-Greek and only secondarily became associated with πλατύς (platús).
