cucuruz

Etymology
. Probably of origin ultimately. Perhaps starting from the root, with the plural , with a suffix ; cf. ,, from , and. Compare 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬. Some etymologies suggest that the source for the word in many of these other languages was ultimately Romanian; however this remains uncertain. Another possibility is of Turkish and Albanian origin. It is more likely that there is a deeper common root between them, or that the ultimate origin is still undetermined. Some similarities with words in other languages may be seen as well, but it is uncertain whether they are coincidences, share a common root (one proposal by Battisti being an ancient Mediterranean root cuccur), or simply developed out of a similar process of expressive creation: compare 🇨🇬, Salentino cuccuruzzo ("heap of stones in a pyramidal shape"), Tarentino, Milanese cocorin ("pine cone"), Greek , etc.
