Where this word comes from

Uncertain; possibly from an unattested regional Vulgar Latin variant of Latin coriandrum—where also its doublet culantro, today obsolete, comes from—with a front vowel, like *ciliandrum or *ceriandrum. (Compare French coriandre, Italian coriandolo, Portuguese coentro) from Ancient Greek κορίανδρον (koríandron), alternative form of κορίαννον (koríannon, “coriander”).)
