Proto-Germanic

Etymology

Uncertain; presumably cognate with Proto-Slavic *mъrky (“carrot”), suggesting Proto-Indo-European *mérkuh₂ ~ *mr̥kwéh₂;[1] however, perhaps instead a Wanderwort,[2] compare Proto-North Caucasian *mɨ̆rꝗwă (“root, carrot”).[3] A connection to Ancient Greek βράκανα (brákana, “wild vegetables”), βάκανον (bákanon, “cabbage(-seed)”) has been argued but is dispute; otherwise thought to be of Pre-Greek origin.[4]
