сморчок

Russian

Pronunciation

IPA^(key): [smɐrˈt͡ɕɵk]

Etymology 1

Inherited from Proto-Slavic *smъrčьkъ. Cognate with Ukrainian змо́ршок (zmóršok), Belarusian смарчок (smarčók), Slovak smrčok, Macedonian смрчак (smrčak), Serbo-Croatian смр́чак, Slovene smȓčək, obsolete Czech smrček. Other languages have derivatives from Proto-Slavic *smъržь, dialectal Ukrainian сморж (smorž) (gen. sg. сморжа́ (smoržá)), смарж (smarž), смордж (smordž). also сморжі́й (smoržíj) (gen. sg. сморжія́ (smoržijá)), сморч (smorč) (gen. sg. сморча́ (smorčá)); Czech smrž; Slovak smrž, Polish smarz, also smardz, Upper Sorbian smorž, also smorža, Lower Sorbian smarž. Bulgarian has смръ́чка (smrǎ́čka), смръ́чкула (smrǎ́čkula), also Lower Sorbian smargula (smaržel after German Morchel), Czech and Slovak also smrh, smrha; sometimes an original *smъrkъ or *smъrgъ is suggested. Which form is earlier is unclear, but Vasmer suggests a possible relationship with сморга́ть (smorgátʹ, “to blink”), HJP with *smьrkъ (“spruce”).
