dió
Hungarian
Etymology
Inherited from Old Hungarian gyivó, from a Turkic language before the times of the Hungarian conquest of the Carpathian Basin at the turn of the 9th and 10th centuries.[1] According to Talât Tekin it was borrowed from Lir-type Turkic. Related to Kazakh жаңғақ (jañğaq), Uzbek yongʻoq, Old Turkic 𐰖𐰍𐰴 (yaɣaq), etc.[2]
Pronunciation
Noun
dió (countable and uncountable, plural diók)
- walnut (either a nut or the wood of the walnut tree)
- (in compounds) some (but not all) other nuts (see the Derived terms below)
Usage notes
In Hungarian there is no generic term for nut as such; some are referred to as a type of dió (originally: “walnut”), some others as a type of mogyoró (“peanut / hazelnut”), and some others as a type of gesztenye (“chestnut”). On the other hand, pine nut is called fenyőmag (literally “pine seed”). The broad meaning of nut may be expressed with a phrase formed with the above terms: dió-, mogyoró- és gesztenyeféle or loosely dióféle (compare -féle).
