κράνον

Ancient Greek

Alternative forms

κράνος (krános)

Etymology

Beekes suggests a derivation from Proto-Indo-European *krno-, a root shared also by Latin cornus (“cornel”) and possibly Lithuanian Kirnis (“a god who protects cherries”). A Mediterranean substrate origin is also possible, which has to be assumed for κέρασος (kérasos, “cherry tree”) in any case.
