The word idromele is not Italian. It comes from the words Ύδωρ (idor) + Μέλι (meli)which are Greek words. Ύδωρ means water and Μέλι means honey in Greek (honey among other things). Both of these words make the word Υδρόμελο which means water-honey. The word Idromelo is in fact a latinized (in characters) version of Υδρόμελο.
Thus I have added the Greek etymology of the word.
Please note that this is about the linguistic origin of the word and not about the history of Idromelo.
- This is one of the many Italian words that are of Greek origin. this reference backs up your etymology. SemperBlotto 21:15, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
- But idro- + mele would be simpler. SemperBlotto 17:16, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
