Ancient Greek
Etymology
From an unattested Etruscan *𐌙𐌀𐌓𐌖𐌋𐌄 (*χarule), according to Pittau (2013). It is an hapax recorded by Pedanius Dioscorides in volume IV of his work De materia medica. First attested in c. 1st century. Given its dubious status, the term has no secure etymology in Etruscan itself and is therefore thought to be part of a Mediterranean substrate.
Possibly akin to Sardinian galileu (“pollen; royal jelly”) and maybe also ghirielle (“wild chrysanthemum”).
