Etymology
of Arabic words: the word البندق
means
hazelnut
and derives from the greek language. Here is an excerpt from the well
documented Turkish Dictionary:
“””~ Ar
bunduḳ/funduḳ بندق/فندق
a.a.
~ OYun pontikón (kárion) ποντικόν (κάριον)
"Karadeniz cevizi", fındık < öz Póntos
Euksēnios "Konuksever Deniz", Karadeniz < EYun
póntos πόντος deniz”””
which
explains the origin of the word, being the ancient greek word
pontikon(ποντικον) κάρυον which means nut from the region called pontos (in north-west part of the nowadays Turkey), which means sea.
