gorosti

Etymology
Possibly from, but the ultimate origin is. Perhaps a Mediterranean Wanderwort also found in 🇨🇬 and 🇨🇬.

Beyond Sardinian and Greek, which clearly bear some resemblance to Basque, other putative cognates have been proposed. Some authors also cite, , apparently from 🇨🇬, via Gallo-Italic *wolostrone, but the semantics is quite doubtful. Agud and Tovar (1994) note that 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬 and 🇨🇬 are similar in shape to this word, however, as the Celtic term, they have a well-established Indo-European etymology.

Derivations that try to explain this word as a Basque compound, such as, or that link it to are to be considered folk etymologies.
