Definition wine

Etymology 1

From Middle English wyn, win, from Old English w?n, from Proto-Germanic *w?n? (compare Dutch wijn, German Wein, Icelandic vín), from Latin v?num, from Proto-Indo-European *wóih?nom (compare Hittite ?? (wiyan-), Armenian ???? (gini), Albanian verë, Ancient Greek ????? (oînos), neuter of *wih??n (“grapevine”), from *weyh?- (“to plait, wattle”) (compare Norwegian vegg (“wall”), Latin vie? (“to bind, interweave”), Serbo-Croatian v?jem (“I twist, wind”), Sanskrit ???? (váyati, “he weaves”).

Alternately, Kartvelian origin for the word has also been proposed. According to Giorgi Tsereteli, the Proto-Indo-European *wóyh?nom was itself borrowed from Kartvelian via Semitic. This hypothesis has been accepted by other scientists as plausible. German Kartvelologist Heinz Fähnrich contends that the word is of Kartvelian origin, from the Proto-Kartvelian verbal root *?un- (“to bend”, "to wind", "to inflect") from which Georgian words such as ????? (?unva), ?????????? (gada?unavs), etc. are also derived.
