ἄννησον

Ancient Greek

Alternative forms

ἄνησον (ánēson), ἄνησσον (ánēsson), ἄνῑσον (ánīson)

Etymology

Borrowed from Egyptian jnst (“a medicinal plant, possibly anise”). However, according to Beekes, the variation ν/νν, the intervocalic -σ- and the connection to ἄνηθον (ánēthon, “dill”) prove Pre-Greek origin.
