μελιτζάνα

Inherited from Byzantine Greek μελιντζάνα (melintzána) under the influence of Italian melanzana, both from Arabic بَاذِنْجَان (bāḏinjān, “aubergine”), from Classical Persian بَاذِنْگَان (bāzingān), بَاتِنْگَان (bātingān), ultimately from Dravidian. Doublet of βαζάνι (vazáni) and πατλιτζάνι (patlitzáni).
