Etymology[edit]
Borrowed from Vulgar Latin ziniperus (perhaps via a Western Romance form with /b/ for /p/) understood as a compound with ber (“berry”) for the juniper berry,[1] although a reconstructed Proto-Germanic *ainijaz[2] or *jainijaz[3] from a Proto-Indo-European acrostatic n-stem noun *h₁óy-n- ~ *h₁éy-n-s, collective formation *h₁oy-n-yo-, has been fancied with reference to the (itself deemed borrowed) Classical Latin iūniperus and (barely identified) Hittite 𒂊𒅀𒀭 (e-i̯a-an /ei̯an-/, “(a kind of) evergreen tree (yew?)”).
Noun[edit]
