"τάργανον" meaning in Ancient Greek

See τάργανον in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /tár.ɡa.non/, /ˈtar.ɣa.non/, /ˈtar.ɣa.non/, /tár.ɡa.non/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈtar.ɡa.non/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈtar.ɣa.non/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈtar.ɣa.non/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈtar.ɣa.non/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Not well explained. Traditionally compared with στεργάνος (stergános, “place for dung”) and τρύξ (trúx, “lees of wine, dregs”). The difference in final velar makes comparison with the group of Proto-Indo-European *terkʷ- (“to turn”) (like Latin torqueō (“I twist, wind”) and Sanskrit तर्कु (tarku, “spindle”)) impossible. Expression for "turn" are often applied to drinks that have turned sour (compare τροπίας (tropías, “sour wine”)). Semantically, one may compare Dutch wrang (“astringent, tart”), to Gothic 𐍅𐍂𐌿𐌲𐌲𐍉 (wruggō, “snare”). According to Beekes, the variation τ/σ shows that the word is Pre-Greek.
