Grammatical information: f.Meaning: `poppy, Papaver somniferum, poppy-head' (Θ 306), meatph. of poppy-like objects, e.g. `ink-bag of the cuttle-fish' (m., Arist.).Derivatives: 1. name of poppy-like plants (Euphorbia, wild lettuce): μηκών-ιον (Hp., Thphr.; also = `opium' [Phld.]), - ίς f. (Nic., inscr., pap.). - ῖτις (Gal., Redard 74; also name of a stone [Plin.], Redard 57). 2. adj. μηκών-ειος `spiced with poppy' (Philostr.), n. `opium' (S. E., sch.), f. - ίς (Alcm.), - ικός `poppy-like' (Thphr.). 3. Dimin. μηκωνάριον (Androm. ap. Gal.).Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Formation like βλήχων a. o. (Chantraine Form. 162). Clearly related to the Slav. and Germ. word for `poppy': Slav., e.g. Russ. CSl. makъ, Russ. mak (old ο-stem); Germ., e.g. OHG maho, MHG mahen, mān; besides with gramm. change OHG mago, OSw. val-moghi ( val- \< *u̯alha- `torpor') a. o. Notable are both the gramm. change and the short vowel against Gr. -ᾱ-, both of which can be interpreted as pointing to old. cognates. As acc. to botanists the poppy originates from the Mediterranean, it must be an already IE loan of a `Wanderwort'.
