Appearance
Ancient Greek
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Uncertain; probably Pre-Greek. Possibly related to Latin digitus, though the details are unclear.[1] Note also Boeotian Greek δακκύλιος (dakkúlios).
The sense "date" is probably a folk-etymological alteration of a word from a Semitic source such as Arabic دَقَل (daqal, “variety of date palm”) or Hebrew דֶּקֶל (deqel, “date palm”).
