Proto-Slavic
Etymology
From *māken (ЭССЯ) or *meh₂kos (Can this(+) etymology be sourced?); further etymology is uncertain. Possibly ultimately a (substrate) Mediterranean word. Morphologically equivalent to *majati (“fig. to enchant, to charm”) + *-kъ (cf Bulgarian омайниче (“avens”)), however, it is uncertain if the two lemmas are semantically related.
Cognate withAncient Greek μήκων (mḗkōn, “poppy”) (Doric μάκων (mákōn)),Old Irish meccun (“carrot, parsnip”), Irish meacan,Proto-Germanic *mōhô (“poppy”) (> Old High German māho, mago, Middle High German mage, German Mohn, Old Saxon maho).
- Borrowed from Germanic: Lithuanian aguonà, maguonà, Latvian magone
- Borrowed from Baltic: Estonian magun, Livonian maggon
