From Proto-Italic *horzdeom, from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰr̥sdeyom (“bristly”) after the long prickly awns of the ear of grain.
Cognate to Old High German gersta (“barley”), German Gerste (“barley”), English gorse. Possibly cognate to Ancient Greek κριθή (krithḗ) (see there for more). Related to Latin horreo (“to bristle”), hirsutus (“hairy”), and ericius (“urchin”).
hordeum n (genitive hordeī); second declension
Classical writers used plural forms, but critics such as Bavius claimed that it should be used only in the singular.
