οἶνος

See also: οίνος

Ancient Greek

Alternative forms

• ϝοῖνος‎ (woînos‎)

Etymology

From Proto-Hellenic *wóinos (compare Mycenaean Greek 𐀺𐀜 (wo-no)), from Proto-Indo-European *wéyh₁ō; related to English wine, Latin vīnum, Old Armenian գինի (gini) etc.; according to the Oxford Latin Dictionary, "all probably from a common Mediterranean source". Perhaps instead from Proto-Indo-European *wóyh₁nom, possibly from the root *wei(H)- (“to twist”), meaning "that of the vine", and related to dialectal ὑιήν (huiḗn, “grapevine”), possibly from Proto-Indo-European *wiHēn, which also probably comes from the same root.
