γαγγλίον

Ancient Greek

Unknown. Traditionally derived from Proto-Indo-European *gel- (“round, swollen”), like Latin galla (“oak apple”). However, Beekes suggests a Pre-Greek origin, comparing the word with ᾰ̓́γλῑς (áglīs, “clove of garlic”), γέλγῐς (gélgis, “clove of garlic”) and γᾰ́λῐνθοι (gálinthoi, “chickpeas”).
