Where this word comes from

From fāgus (“beech”), suffixed with the unproductive -ineus following Ancient Greek φηγινέος (phēginéos), a variant of φήγινος (phḗginos, “oaken”). Formations such as oleāgineus (“of olives”) may have played a role in reinforcing the ending. A direct borrowing from Ancient Greek is to be excluded on phonological and semantical grounds.
