|etymtx=Grammatical information: f.<br />Meaning: [[spikenard]], [[Indian narde]], [[Nardostachys Jatamansi]] (hell. a. late).<br />Other forms: [[νάρδον]] n. (Thphr. Od. 12, Poll.)<br />Compounds: Few compp., e.g. <b class="b3">ναρδό-σταχυς</b>, <b class="b3">-υος</b> m. = <b class="b3">νάρδου στάχυς</b>, [[νάρδος]] (Dsc., Gal.).<br />Derivatives: <b class="b3">νάρδ-ινος</b> [[of nard]] (Antiph., Men., Plb.), <b class="b3">-ίτης οἶνος</b> [[wine spiced with nard]] (Dsc. in tit.; Redard 98), <b class="b3">-ῖτις βοτάνη</b> <b class="b2">n. -like plant</b> (Gal.; Redard 74) ; <b class="b3">-ίζω</b> [[resemble the nard]] (Dsc.).<br />Origin: LW [a loanword which is (probably) not of Pre-Greek origin] Sem.<br />Etymology: From Semit. (Phoenic.); cf. Hebr. [[nērd]], Aram. [[nirda]], Babyl. [[lardu]]. Further connection with Skt. <b class="b2">naḍá-</b>'reed, cane' (beside <b class="b2">nadá-</b> <b class="b2">id.</b>) is quite uncertain and prob. to be abandoned; rather the Semit. words come from Skt. <b class="b2">nálada-</b> n. [[Indian narde]] (AV), s. Mayrhofer s. <b class="b2">naḍáḥ</b> and <b class="b2">náladam</b> m. -- Lat. LW [loanword] [[nardus]], <b class="b2">-um</b>; s. W.-Hofmann. Beside [[νάρδος]] stands [[νάρτη]] f. designating aromatic plants (Thphr. HP 9, 7, 3). Fur. 199 suggests that the word are of Anatolian origin (including [[νάρθηξ]]).
