An informant in Ath. 2, 58f says that it was intoduced from India; the comparison with Skt. [[kālindam]] n. [[water-melon]] and Kurd.

Die Mittelsilbe erinnert an lat. ''cucumis'' [[Gurke]], [[κύκυον]]· τὸν σικυόν, [[κυκύϊζα]]· [[γλυκεῖα]] [[κολόκυντα]] H.; sie läßt höchstens auf Entlehnung aus gemeinsamer Quelle schließen, vgl. W.-Hofmann s. ''cucumis'', wo auch gegen Anknüpfung an [[κυέω]] (m. weiterer Lit.); dazu noch Kretschmer Glotta 15, 169 (gegen eine ganz unwahrscheinliche Hypothese von Rozwadowski). Nach einem Gewährsmann bei Ath. 2, 58f wurde der Kürbis aus Indien eingeführt; der Vergleich mit aind. ''kālindam'' n. [[Wassermelone]] und kurd.
