golosti

Sardinian

Alternative forms

  • golostri, colostiu, bolostru

Etymology

Of unknown origin. Hypothesized to be part of a Nuragic substrate. Often compared with Basque gorosti (“holly”),[1][2] Navarrese Spanish golostia, gorostia (“holly”). However, given the dialectal variant golostri, a relation with Ancient Greek κήλαστρος (kḗlastros, “holly”) is possible.[3]

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /ɡoˈlosti/

Noun

golósti m (plural golostis)

  1. (botany) holly (Ilex aquifolium)
