Etymology[edit]

Of unknown origin. Hypothesized to be part of a Nuragic substrate. Often compared with Basque gorosti (holly),[1][2] Navarrese Spanish golostia, gorostia (holly). However, given the dialectal variant golostri, a relation with Ancient Greek κήλαστρος (kḗlastros, holly) is possible.[3]

Pronunciation[edit]

Noun[edit]

golósti m (plural golostis)

  1. (botany) holly (Ilex aquifolium)
