Ancient Greek[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Because of the meaning "calyx", the word has been connected with κύτος (kútos, “hollow, vessel”). However, Furnée compares κύταρον (kútaron, “spoon”), κύδαρος (kúdaros, “small ship”), κύτταρος (kúttaros, “cell of a honeycomb”), κυττοί (kuttoí, “receptacles”). This points to a Pre-Greek word.
