Etymology: Depending on the exact medicinal properties possibly related to βᾰ́λλω (bállō, “to throw; to strike; to tumble”). In Dioskurides it is given as another name of the squirting cucumber. Depending on the exterior appearance it can also be from βαλιός (baliós, “spotted, dappled”), itself suspected to be from Thracian, Illyrian, or Pre-Greek origin. According to Beekes, it's together with βαλαύστιον (balaústion, “flower of the pomegranate”), βάλαρις (bálaris), βάλλαρις (bállaris, “uncertain plant”), βαλλωτή (ballōtḗ, “black horehound”) from Pre-Greek.
