Frisk Etymological English

Grammatical information: m.
Meaning: a kind of mallow, marsh mallow = ἀλθαία (s. on ἀλθαίνω) (v. l. in Ps.-Dsc. 3, 146, Erot.)
Other forms: Also ἐβίσκος (Gal., Aët.)
Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]
Etymology: Formed like the synonymous ἀλθίσκος and other plant-names (Chantraine Formation 407); further unclear. Identical with earlier (Verg.) Lat. (h)ibiscum (eb-), -us and in spite of the suffixes perh. from there, in which case one thinks of Celtic origin, s. W.-Hofmann s. v. Cf. also on ἰβηρίς. Fur. 355 thinks the word comes from Greek and is Pre-Greek, where ε\/ι is frequent.
