brinjaln.

/ˈbrɪndʒɔːl/

Forms: 1600s berenjaw, 1700s bringela, brinjalle, berenjal, biringal, 1700s–1800s bringal, brinjal, brinjaal, brinjall, brinjaul. Also (from Arabic and Persian) 1600s plural pallingenies, 1700s bedin-janas, 1800s badenjân, badingân.

Etymology: Anglo-Indian adaptation of Portuguese bringella, bringiela, earlier beringela = Spanish berengena, al-berengena, < Arabic (al)-bāðinjān. The latter is < Persian bādin-gān, < Sanskrit vātin-gaṇa, all applied to the same fruit.Few names even of plants exemplify so fully the changes to which a foreign and unintelligible word is liable under the influence of popular etymology and form-association. Cognate with the Spanish alberengena is the French aubergine, dialect albergine, albergaine, albergame, also without the al-, belingèle, and, with m for b, merangène, melongène, botanical Latin melongēna, Italian melanzana, mela insana (= mad apple). All these go back to the Arabic bāðinjān, and ultimately to Sanskrit vātin-gāna, whence also Hindustani baingan, began. The Malay berinjalā, probably from Portuguese, illustrates the Anglo-Indian form (see Devic, and Yule). In the West Indies brinjalle has been further corrupted to brown-jolly. The Sanskrit name is said to mean ‘the class (that removes) the wind-disorder (windy humour)’, a meaning supposed to connect it with vārttāku, another name of the same plant, which is said to have a māruta-nāśin or ‘wind-removing’ effect. (J. T. Platts.)
