γαγγλίον

Ancient Greek

Unknown. Traditionally derived from Proto-Indo-European *gel- (“round, swollen”), like Latin galla (“oak apple”). However, Beekes suggests a Pre-Greek origin, comparing the word with ᾰ̓́γλῑς (ắglīs, “clove of garlic”), γέλγῐς (gélgĭs, “clove of garlic”) and γᾰ́λῐνθοι (gắlĭnthoi, “chickpeas”).
