افلاطون
See also: أفلاطون
Ottoman Turkish
Alternative forms
- افلاطونی (eflatuni)
Etymology
From Arabic أَفْلَاطُون (ʔaflāṭūn, “Plato”), from Ancient Greek Πλάτων (Plátōn) as adjusted to Arabic phonology. Nişanyan considers that the use of the term for a shade of purple originates in the multiple references to such colours in Plato's work (e.g. Ancient Greek ἁλουργής (halourgḗs) in the Republic, Book IV, 429d).
