Morea

(Engels)

Synonym of Peloponnese, a peninsula in Greece, particularly (historical) under Turkish rule.
A former polity in Europe.
An eyalet in the Ottoman Empire.

From Latin and Italian Morea, from Byzantine Greek Μορέας (Moréas) and Μωριάς (Mōriás), from μορέα (moréa, “mulberry”) either from its presence in the area or from a supposed resemblance of the shape of the Peloponnese to its leaves, used in sericulture.
