κρώπιον

Ancient Greek

Alternative forms
  • κρώβιον (krṓbion)

Etymology

Maybe from Proto-Indo-European *kerp- (“to pluck, to harvest”) and so cognate with Proto-Germanic *harbistaz (“harvest”), Latin carpō (“I pluck”) and Ancient Greek καρπός (karpós, “fruit”). Beekes, instead, claims that the word must be of Pre-Greek origin.
