From Ancient Greek Φοινικώδης (Phoinikṓdēs), from φοῖνῐξ (phoînix, “purple or crimson, palm tree, date (the fruit of the date palm)”) +‎ -ώδης (-ṓdēs, “full of, like”). Previously also Phoenicūsa, from Ancient Greek Φοινικοῦσσα (Phoinikoûssa), from φοῖνῐξ (phoînix, “purple or crimson, palm tree, date (the fruit of the date palm)”) +‎ -εσσᾰ (-essa, “full of, like”).
