μέσπιλον

Etymology
A loanword of origin because no Indo-European cognates can be found, as plant names are more frequently borrowed and, particularly concerning this term, the medlar is native to the regions of Iran, southwest Asia and southeastern Europe and its Black Sea coasts so that it was unknown to the speakers of Proto-Indo-European and borrowing became necessary. Possibly a cognate to 🇨🇬 with metathesis of the initial consonants.

Noun

 * 1) medlar
