Frisk Etymological English

Grammatical information: n.
Meaning: rue, Ruta graveolens (Diocl. Gr., com., Thphr.).
Other forms: cf. παίκανον bel.
Compounds: ἀγριο-πήγανον Syrian rue (H., Aët.), πηγαν-έλαιον rue oil (medic.).

Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]
Etymology: Formation like λάχανον, βάκανον, πλάτανος, ῥάφανος a. other pl.names; with Lat. pāgina formally identical, but prob. independent. Usu. (since Plu.; Prellwitz, Bq, Benveniste Origines 47, Strömberg Pfl.namen 144) connected with πήγνυμι, what (in spite of Strömberg l.c., who starts from πήγνυμι in the incidental meaning plant) has not yet been sufficiently explained semantically. As long as no argumentation has been found rather a loan (Chantraine Form. 200, Schwyzer 490). - Furnée 162 adduces φαίκανον πήγανον H., which proves Pre-Greek origin.
