τρύξ

Ancient Greek

Etymology

Without certain etymology. The traditional connection with τάργανον (tárganon, “spoiled wine, wine-vinegar”) is neither phonetically nor semantically convincing. The formal identity with τρυγάω (trugáō, “to gather fruits”) is remarkable, especially since both words refer to viniculture and wine production. Porzig pleads for Pre-Greek origin of all these words.
