Etymology
Originally *sfungus. Along with Ancient Greek σπόγγος (spóngos, “sponge”, whence Latin spongia), σφόγγος (sphóngos), and Old Armenian սունկն (sunkn), likely a loanword from a non-Indo-European substrate language. Possibly also related to Georgian სოკო (soḳo), Tsez зикӏу (zik’u), Bezhta сакӏо (sakʼo), Moksha панга (panga) and Erzya панго (pango, “mushroom”). Linguists such as Kluge and Kroonen have suggested a connection to English swamp and its Germanic cognates. See: Ancient Greek Nouns '
σπόγγος', English Nouns '
swamp'.
