Yakut

Etymology

edit

From Russian лук (luk, onion), possibly related with English leek. (The etymology at лук (luk) asserts that the Russian word is indeed borrowed from a Germanic source, while the entry for "leek" at Etymonline demurs, and merely states that they may be related.)

Noun

edit

  1. (vegetable) onion (Allium cepa)
