Etymology

Borrowed from Middle Dutch sipol (cf. Middle Low German sipolle, German Zwiebel), itself a borrowing from Italian cipollo, from Latin cīpulla, cepulla, the diminutive form of cēpa, of uncertain origin (perhaps a borrowing from an unattested Ancient Greek word.) See: German Nouns 'Zwiebel', Italian Nouns 'cipollo', Latin Nouns 'cīpulla'.
