Etymology

Inherited from Middle High German: koriander

Inherited from Old High German: koriander

In summary

From Middle High German koriander, from earlier koliander, from Old High German kullantar, kullintar (9th c.), from Latin coliandrum, variant of coriandrum. An early borrowing as Proto-West Germanic *kulljandr is possible, though the only cognate is Old English cellender. The relatinization of the German form was gradual and began already in Old High German.
