The plant name Cannabis is derived originally from a Scythian or Thracian word, which loaned into Persian as kanab, then into Greek as κάνναβις (kánnabis) and subsequently into Latin as cannabis. The Germanic word that gives rise to English hemp (Old English hænep, Common Germanic *hanapi-z) may be an early Germanic loan (predating Grimm's Law) from the same source.

  • Le nom de la plante Cannabis est dérivé à l'origine d'un mot scythe ou thrace, qui a été prêté en persan sous le nom de kanab , puis en grec comme κάνναβις ( kánnabis ) et par la suite en latin comme cannabis. Le mot germanique qui donne naissance au chanvre anglais ( en vieil anglais hænep , Common Germanic *hanapi-z ) peut être un ancien emprunt germanique du même mot. (fr)
