bunion

Alternative forms edit

Etymology edit

From alteration of earlier bunny (lump, swelling), from Middle English bony, boni (bunion, swelling), perhaps Italian bubbone (augmented form of bugno (beehive)), or more likely from Lombard bugnon (bunyon), all three from Old French bugne, buigne, bune (bump, knob, swelling), from Old Norse bunga (an elevation, bulge) or Frankish *bungjō (a swelling, lump, bump), both from Proto-Germanic *bungô, *bunkô (lump, clump, heap, crowd), from Proto-Indo-European *bʰenǵʰ- (thick, dense, fat). Cognate with Dutch bonk (lump, clump), German Bunge (swelling, tuber).

Latin edit

Etymology edit

From the Ancient Greek βούνῐον (boúnion).

Pronunciation edit

Noun edit

būnion n (genitive būniī); second declension

  1. a type of turnip, perhaps earthnut, Bunium ferulaceum
    • c. 77 CE – 79 CE, Pliny the Elder, Naturalis Historia 20.11:
      Nāpōrum duās differentiās et in medicīnā Graecī servant. Angulōsīs foliōrum caulibus, flōre anētī, quod būnion vocant, pūrgātiōnibus fēminārum et vēsīcae et ūrīnae ūtile dēcoctum, pōtum ex aquā mulsā vel sūcī drachmā; sēmen dysintericīs tostum trītumque in aquae calidae cyathīs quattuor. sed ūrīnam inhibet, sī nōn līnī sēmen ūna bibātur.
      The Greeks also preserve two distinct types of turnip in medicine. With angular leafstalks and a flower like that of dill, the one they call the “bunion” is useful boiled, drunk in mead or in a drachma of juice for women's purgings and for the bladder and for the urine; the seed, toasted and ground, in four ladlesful of warm water, (is useful) for people with dysentery. It prevents urination, however, if one (drachma) of linseed is not drunk.

Declension edit

Second-declension noun (neuter, Greek-type).

Case Singular Plural
Nominative būnion būnia
