karpuz
Turkish
Etymology
From Ottoman Turkish قارپوز (karpuz, “melon”), from Persian خربز (xarbuz, “melon”) and likely influenced by Greek καρπός (karpós, “fruit, grain”), both from Ancient Greek καρπός (karpós, “fruit, grain, produce”), from Proto-Indo-European *kerp- (“pluck, harvest”), from *(s)ker- (“to cut”). Ultimately related to English harvest.
