editEtymology
editOf unknown origin. Hypothesized to be part of a Nuragic substrate. Often compared with Basque gorosti (“holly”),[1][2] Navarrese Spanish golostia, gorostia (“holly”). However, given the dialectal variant golostri, a relation with Ancient Greek κήλαστρος (kḗlastros, “holly”) is possible.[3]
Pronunciation
editNoun
