ῥάφανος

Etymology
The formation is similar to other plant names, such as, and. Since the word is widespread only in Europe, and since it has variant forms, it cannot be an inherited word from Indo-European, but must have been borrowed instead, or otherwise belong to a substrate. 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬 and 🇨🇬 point to a pre-form *rāp-; beside this we find 🇨🇬 and 🇨🇬, which point to *rēp-. In Greek we find also and. Since the variation "π/φ" and the suffix "-αν-" are evidently features, the word may originally be of substrate stock; thence the European cognates cited above were borrowed.
