horreum

Latin

Etymology

Pompeius Festus linked it in De Verborum with far (HORREUM: antiqui dicebant farreum a farre), yet there is no documental evidence of that outside his work.

Modern etymologists link it to Latin hordeum (barley) and, thus, to Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰr̥sdeyom (bristly).

Corriente derives from Egyptian mẖr (store-house, granary), Coptic ⲁϩⲟⲣ (ahor, store-house, granary), from which the same word was later borrowed into Romance via Arabic هُرْي (hury) of the same meaning.
