πραικόκιον
Ancient Greek
editAlternative forms
edit- βερίκοκκον (beríkokkon), βερικόκκῐον (berikókkion)
- πραικόκκῐον (praikókkion), πρεκόκκῐον (prekókkion)
Etymology
editBorrowed from Latin praecoquum (“precocious”), variant of praecox (“early-ripe”), apparently because the apricot was considered a "precocious" variant of the peach. βερίκοκκον (beríkokkon) (whence modern Greek βερίκοκο (veríkoko)) is traditionally connected and considered as a variant form; however, the details of its relation to and phonetic development from πραικόκιον (praikókion) are unclear.[1]
