"etymology_text": "Attested 1575 as Cucurezi, the name of a village (today Cucuruzu, Giurgiu County), as Cucuruz from 1621. As maize (cucurudz, triticum turcicum) in Dictionarium Valachico-Latinum (Caransebeș, c. 1650).\nFrom Latin cucullus \"hood, doll, cocoon\" via a Balkan word – Aromanian cucul, Albanian kukull – with rhotacism l > r and suffix -uz (originally -ëz). The reference is to the wrapped, cocoon-like nature of the maize cob.\nThe Latin word itself may be a loan from Illyrian.\nOlder theories posited a development from a base coc – cf. buburuză, from bob \"grain, bean\" – with a primary meaning of \"pine cone\".\nFrom Romanian and Serbo-Croatian kukuruz, the word spread into other languages, e.g. Hungarian kukorica, Russian кукуруза, Ottoman Turkish قوقوروز, &c.",
