χιτών
Ancient Greek
Etymology
Cognate with Mycenaean Greek 𐀑𐀵 (ki-to). From some Central Semitic language *kittan. Compare Aramaic כִּיתּוּנָא (kittōnā, “tunic”) / ܟܘܬܝܢܐ (kuttīnā, kottīnā, “tunic”), Hebrew כֻּתֹּנֶת (kuttṓnĕṯ, “tunic”); from the word for flax, Aramaic כּיתָּנָא (kittānā, “flax”) / ܟܬܢܐ (kettānā, “flax”), Akkadian 𒃰 (GADA /kitû/, “flax”), Sumerian 𒃰 (gada, “flax”), ultimately a substrate word. Likely cognate with Latin tunica.
