Related to Kazakh жаңғақ (jañğaq), Uzbek yong'oq, Old Turkic [script needed] (yagak), etc.[2]

Noun

dió (countable and uncountable, plural diók)

  1. walnut (either a nut or the wood of the walnut tree)
  2. (in compounds) some (but not all) other nuts (see the Derived terms below)

Usage notes

In Hungarian there is no generic term for nut as such; some are referred to as a type of dió (originally: “walnut”), some others as a type of mogyoró (“peanut / hazelnut”), and some others as a type of gesztenye (“chestnut”). On the other hand, pine nut is called fenyőmag (literally “pine seed”). The broad meaning of nut may be expressed with a phrase formed with the above terms: dió-, mogyoró- és gesztenyeféle or loosely dióféle (compare -féle).
