Etymology

Attested as kukuruza in 17th-century Ivan Belostenec's Gazophylacium, where it means both buckwheat (fagopyrum) and maize (frumentum indicum, mays dictum)[1]; as kukuruz "maize" since 1704.[2]

From Latin cucullus ‘hood, doll, cocoon’ via a Balkan language, e.g. Albanian kukull or Aromanian cucul, with rhotacism l > r and suffix -uz (originally -ëz).[3] Compare Romanian cucuruz. The reference is to the wrapped, cocoon-like nature of the maize cob. The Latin word itself may be a loan from Illyrian.[4]

The derivation from Ottoman Turkish – popular because maize was known as ‘Turkish corn’ in various western languages – has been discarded.[5]
