Bulgarian
Etymology
Borrowed from Byzantine Greek μαγγοῦνα (mangoûna), μαγκοῦνα (mankoûna), an obscure word, also found mingled with Latin cicūta as μαγγοῦτα (mangoûta), μαγκοῦτα (mankoûta), and in Albanian magunë (“poison hemlock (Conium maculatum)”). A derivation from μᾱ́κων (mā́kōn, “poppy”) has been suggested, as well as a distortion of Proto-Slavic *omęgъ (“poison hemlock”).
