strugure¹
- /ˈst̪ɾu.ɡu.ɾe/
Where it comes from
Origin uncertain. Many theories have been proposed. Possibly a singularised plural of strug (now a regional term found in Bessarabia), which may be related to strung (“lathe”), strunji or the verb struji (“to clean feathers, branches, cobs of corn, etc.; to shave or scrape off; to chisel”), a regionalism of Slavic origin, possibly borrowed from Middle Bulgarian стръжити (strŭžiti), стругати (strugati) (whence Bulgarian стръга́ (străgá), стръжа́ (străžá, “to flake off, chip off; rub”). For the semantic development, compare: Spanish raspa (“bunch of grapes”), from the verb raspar (“scrape; file or sand down”). Alternatively, strug may be borrowed from Ancient Greek τρύγος (trúgos), τρυγή (trugḗ, “vine harvest”). Other less likely etymologies include a Latin *stribulus or *strubulus, a Gepid thrubilo or struwilo, corresponding to German Träubel (“grape hyacinth”), or a substratum origin (although the word doesn't seem to have an Albanian or other Balkan equivalent). Replaced Old Romanian auă, from Latin uva.
