Etymology

Inherited from Old French: persil

Inherited from Latin: petroselīnum

Cognate with Sicilian: pitrusinu

In summary

Inherited from Old French persil, peresil, perresil, inherited from Latin petroselīnum (possibly through a Vulgar Latin *petrosīnu, compare Sicilian pitrusinu and the Old French variant persin, later with the suffix -il; or through Early Medieval Latin petrosilio), itself from Ancient Greek πετροσέλῑνον (petrosélīnon), from πέτρος (pétros, “stone”) + σέλῑνον (sélīnon, “celery”).
