köken: Attested from 1697. From Serbo-Croatian kukuruz or Romanian cucuruz (see there for further etymology). Compare Russian кукуруза (kukuruza), Hungarian kukorica, Slovene koruza, Polish kukurydza, etc.
köken: From blé + Inde. From being something similar to wheat (“blé”) that is used by the American Indians (amérindiens); i.e. of India (d'Inde). From the historic European misconception that the New World, the Americas, were part of India or East Indies.

An aspirated -ṭh- would be expected from -ṣṭ-, but the unaspirated form is probably from conflation with the reflex of Sanskrit भृक्त (bhṛkta). Cognate with Nepali भुट्नु (bhuṭnu, “to fry, roast”), Bengali ভুট্টা (bhuṭṭa). Originally…
köken: Attested in Karel Thám's Deutsch-böhmisches National-lexikon (1788), in actual usage at least since 1798. A wanderword, either from German Kukuruz, Hungarian kukorica or Slovak kukurica, in turn probably from Serbo-Croatian kukuruz or Romanian cucuruz (see there for further etymology). The ending of the modern form is probably due to paronymic attraction to common suffix -ice.
