karpuz

From Ottoman Turkish قارپوز‎ (karpuz, “watermelon”), from Persian تربز‎ (tarboz, “watermelon”) and likely influenced by Greek καρπός (karpós, “fruit, grain”), both from Ancient Greek καρπός (karpós, “fruit, grain, produce”), from Proto-Indo-European *kerp- (“pluck, harvest”), from *(s)ker- (“to cut”). Ultimately related to English harvest.
