Disputed etymology largely in where it originates and the direction it was borrowed:
From Middle Persianʾngwl(angūr, “grape”) or alternatively Middle Persianʾncyl(anjīr, “fig”); applied then generically to a green produce. Cognates with Persianغوره(ğure, “unripe, green produce; sour grapes”), Persianانگور(angur, “grapes”), Aramaicגורקא(gūraqā, “unripe fruit”), Aramaicגורג(gūrg, “wine made from unripe grapes”), and more distantly Sanskritअङ्कुर(aṅkura, “shoot, bud, sprout”).
Perhaps semantically derived from Byzantine Greekἀγγούριον(angoúrion); compare its Slavic and Germanic descendants, Russianогуре́ц(oguréc, “cucumber”), GermanGurke(“cucumber”); derived from Greekάγουρος(ágouros, “unripe, green, immature, inexperienced”), which disputably derives from Pahlavi, Aramaic, or natively from Ancient Greekἄωρος(áōros, “immature, green, unripe”, literally “ἀ-+ὥρα, not season or time”).
