['palm shoot',] and '[sc. purple] color'. Also 'Phoenician person'.
*foini/kion e)/rnos, kai\ xrw=ma. kai\ *foini/kios a)/nqrwpos.
Probably derived ultimately from Apollonius Sophistes,
Homeric Lexicon 164 s.v.
foi=nic, which deals with various connotations of the term, including 'date-palm', 'purple' and 'Phoenician'. Occasioned by the phrase
foi/nikos ne/on e)/rnos ("young shoot of palm") in
Homer,
Odyssey 6.163, which the headword phrase seems to replicate erroneously with the adjectival derivative of
foi=nic; cf.
Hesychius phi701,
Etymologicum Gudianum 556 s.v.
foi/nikos.
