ροδάκινο

Greek

Inherited from Byzantine Greek ῥοδάκινον (rhodákinon) from Late Koine Greek or medieval δωράκινον (dōrákinon) (with antimetathesis of [d] [r] and vowel change [u>o]) or δωρακινόν μῆλον (dōrakinón mêlon). From Latin duracinum. ^[1]^[2]
The medieval alternative spelling ῥωδάκινον (rhōdákinon) leads other etymologists^[3] to support the preservation of ⟨ω⟩ even in modern times.
Other names: Ancient Greek μῆλον περσικόν (mêlon persikón) & Latin mālum persicum, both meaning 'Persian apple'.
