Etymology

[edit]

    Borrowed from Crimean Tatar fındıq, borrowed from Ottoman Turkish فندق (funduk, fındık), borrowed from Classical Persian فُنْدُق (funduq), borrowed from Arabic فُنْدُق (funduq), borrowed from Middle Persian pndk' (pondik), borrowed from Ancient Greek Ποντικὸν κάρυον (Pontikòn káruon), from Ποντῐκόν (Pontĭkón) + κᾰ́ρῠον (kắrŭon).

    Initially (in the 19th century) denoting filbert (Corylus maxima syn. C. tubulosa) cultivated in subtropics of South Crimea, in the 20th century it began to be used interchangeably with Slavic лещи́на (leščína) (common hazel, Corylus avellana) and by the 21st century became more common.
