From Classical Syriacܕܘܪܩܝܢܐ(dōraqqīnā), from Ancient Greekδωράκινον(dōrákinon), from Latindūracinum, nominative neuter singular of dūracinus(“hard-berried”), from dūrus(“hard”), which is applied for peaches that are firm-fleshed and cling to the stone – clingstones as distinguished from freestones – and are apt to be conserved rather than to be eaten. Such peaches are called to this day in GermanHärtlinge(literally “hardlings”) from hart(“hard”) as distinguished from Kerngeher(literally “kern-goers”).
