Etymologie
() Middle English fige, from Anglo-Norman figue, from Old Provençal figa, from Vulgar Latin fīca 'fig', from Latin fīcus 'fig tree', from Semitic (compare Phoenician pagh, paggím 'half-ripe fig' ). Semitic also gave Ancient Greek σῦκον (sukon) 'fig', (Boeotian) τῦκον (tukon) and Old Armenian թուզ (tʿuz).
