peruna

Finnish

Etymology

Borrowed from Late Old Swedish pærun (pear) (compare dialectal Finnish Swedish pärun, perun and standard Swedish päron). Originally meant "pear", in which sense it has been attested since the time of Mikael Agricola (16th century). When potatoes were first introduced to Finland in the 18th century, they were usually called maaperuna (compare Swedish jordpäron (potato), German Erdbirne (potato, literally earth-pear)). Peruna is first mentioned in a 1787 dictionary by Christfried Ganander, and was eventually replaced in the sense "pear" by the doublet päärynä (pear), which is a more recent borrowing.
