πίτυς

Ancient Greek

Etymology

Beekes is hesitant to espouse any derivation (even the usual Pre-Greek) and leaves the origin open.^[1] Traditionally taken as a derivative of Proto-Indo-European *peyH-, which is also the source of Latin pīnus (“pine”) and Sanskrit पीतुदारु (pītudāru, “kind of tree”). Compare also Albanian pishë.
