افلاطون

See also: أفلاطون

Ottoman Turkish

Etymology

From Arabic أَفْلَاطُون (ʔaflāṭūn, Plato), from Ancient Greek Πλάτων (Plátōn) as adjusted to Arabic phonology. Nişanyan considers that the use of the term for a shade of purple originates in the multiple references to such colours in Plato's work (e.g. Ancient Greek ἁλουργής (halourgḗs) in the Republic, Book IV, 429d).
