Ancient Greek
Etymology
The Italic tribe of the Oenotrians has been linked to both Oenotrus and the word οἶνος (oînos, “wine”), supposedly referring to the fertile vineyards of southern Italy, but it is unclear if the connection stems from folk etymology.[1][2] Also compare οἴνωτρον (oínōtron, “vine stake”).
