Meaning & usage
rush, reed
Where this word comes from
From Proto-Italic *joinikos, cognate with Middle Irish ain (“rushes, reeds”) and Old Norse einir (“juniper”) equated with Latin iūniperus. Kroonen derives it from a hypothetical Proto-Indo-European *h₁oy-n-yo-, but Matasović notes that because this group of words is found only in Western Indo-European dialects, it likely originated as a loanword from a non-Indo-European (substrate) source; this is supported by De Vaan.
