Etymology

Originally only “spherical object”, thought to be borrowed through Vulgar Latin from Latin coccum (“scarlet berry, gall”).[1] However, due to strong semantical parallels and on geographic grounds, it is perhaps more likely to be derived directly from Ancient Greek κόκκος (kókkos, “grain, seed, berry”). Compare koqe; "koko" is a Lallwort, or child language for "apple", "cherry" etc.

This etymology is incomplete. You can help Wiktionary by elaborating on the origins of this term.
