Etymology

A syncope of earlier pretosemolo, with metathesis from petrosemolo, from a cross of Latin petroselīnum and sēmen (thus "stone seed") as in Sardinian perdusèmene. The Latin word borrowed from Ancient Greek πετροσέλῑνον (petrosélīnon), from πέτρα (pétra, “stone”) + σέλῑνον (sélīnon, “celery”).
