Etymology
Of unknown origin. Possibly belonging to the alleged Nuragic substrate.
Pittau (2013) compares it with a hypothetical Etruscan *𐌙𐌀𐌓𐌖𐌋𐌄 (*χarule) which is first attested in c. 40, but in common usage only as of the 90C.E. by Dioscorides in Greek orthography as γαρουλέου (garouléou, “crown daisy”).[1] He also suggests a connection with Ancient Greek χλωρός (khlōrós, “pale green, yellowish”).
Maybe related to Sardinian chirielle, ghirielle (“wild chrysanthemum”).
