Frisk Etymological English
Grammatical information: n.
Meaning: coriander, Coriandrum sativum; also κορίανδρον (Gloss.), dissimilated κολίανδρον (Gp., Sch.); κορίαμβλον (H.); (Anakr., Kom., Thphr.)
Other forms: shortened κόριον (Hp., Nic., pap.)
Dialectal forms: Myk. korijadono, koria₂dana = \/korihadnon\/.
Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]
Etymology: Mediterranean. The Form -ανδρον is prob. folketymological, as is -αμβλον (after ἀμβλύς?); the short form κόριον with allusion to κόρις bug (Strömberg Pflanzennamen 61?; because of the stench?). Cf. Hatzidakis Glotta 2, 297f. Szemerényi, Gnomon 43 (1971) 674 points to the comparison with Akkad. huri'anu id.; but this does not explain the Myc. -d-. The Myc. -dn- points to a Pre-Greek word. (I doubt about the folk-etym. supposed by Frisk.)
