Proto-Slavic[edit]

Etymology[edit]

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 with Ancient 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).
