The primary form is not recorded in Slavic, but appears in late Greek ἀγγούριον , ἀγκούριον (modern Greek ἀγγοῦρι ), whence Italian anguria a kind of cucumber, French angourie , angurie (Cotgrave), Spanish angúrria (obsolete) water-melon: see anguria n.The ultimate origin is unknown. Arabic has ʿajūr cucumber, but Lane regards this as adopted < Greek The Persian angūr is sometimes given as the etymon, but it means ‘a grape’.
