|etymtx=Grammatical information: n.<br />Meaning: [[celery]], [[Apium graveolens]] (Il.; on the meaning Andrews ClassPhil. 44, 91 ff.), also metaph. [[pudenda rnuliebria]] (Phot.)<br />Other forms: (Aeol. <b class="b3">-νν-</b> gramm.).<br />Dialectal forms: Myc. [[serino]].<br />Compounds: Often as 2. member, e.g. [[πετροσέλινον]] n. [[rock celery]] (Dsc.; Lat. [[petroselinum]], MLat. [[petrosilium]] > NHG. [[Petersilie]]); s. Strömberg Pflanz. 33.<br />Derivatives: From this the river- and townname [[Σελινοῦς]], <b class="b3">Σελινοῦντος</b> m., as townname also f. (on the gender Schwyzer-Debrunner 33 n. 2; cf. also Leumann Hom. Wörter 300ff. and Krahe Beitr. z.
