köken: From Middle Persian ʾncyl (anjīr, “fig”). Cognates found in Sogdian ʾncyr (anjēr) and Northern Kurdish hejîr. From the same Middle Iranian source, this word has been borrowed into Turkish incir, Russian инжир (inžir) and Sanskrit अञ्जीर (añjīra).
köken: Borrowed Middle Low German vige, from Vulgar Latin *fīca, from Latin fīcus (“fig tree, fruit”), + -on (neutral noun-forming suffix; used in the names of fruits and berries).
köken: Possibly adapted into Pre-Latin in the form *θūko- or *θīko- and likely related to Ancient Greek σῦκον (sûkon) and Old Armenian թուզ (tʻuz) through a Mediterranean substrate form *tʲuk- or the like. One possibility is a Semitic loanword. Compare Phoenician 𐤐𐤀𐤂 (pʾg, “half-ripe fig”), Hebrew פַּג (paḡ), פַּגָּה (paggâ, “unripe fig”), Classical Syriac ܦܵܓܵܐ (“unripe fig”).
