ροδάκινο

Greek

Medieval Byzantine Greek ροδάκινον/ῥοδάκινον from Late Koine or Byzantine δωράκινον (with antimetathesis of [d] [r] and vowel change [u>o]) or δωρακινόν μῆλον. From Latin duracinum. [1][2]
The medieval alternative spelling ῥωδάκινον leads other etymologists[3] to support the preservation of <ω> even in modern times.
Other names: Ancient greek μῆλον περσικόν & Latin malum persicum, both meaning 'persian apple'.
