köken: Nativisation of the Sino-Korean term 감저 (甘藷, gamjeo, “lesser yam (Dioscorea esculenta)”). First attested 1766 in Korea, then referring to the sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas). The word came to refer to both potato and sweet potato in the nineteenth century, and later lost its original meaning.
köken: Of Lower Sorbian origin. Compare Bramborska (“Brandenburg”). Interpreted as "crop from Brandenburg", as imported to Bohemia by Prussian soldiers during the War of the Bavarian Succession (1778–1779).
Inherited from Sauraseni Prakrit 𑀆𑀮𑀼𑀕 (āluga), from Sanskrit आलुक (āluka, “elephant foot yam”). Doublet of आलु (ālu) and आलुक (āluk). The word began to be used in the sense "potato" after the importation of potatoes to South Asia from the Americas by Europeans, displacing cultivation of the similar elephant foot yam.
