Grecoue

/ɡrɛˈkuː/ adjective

Definition

Of or relating to ancient Greece; Greek in style or manner.

Etymology

From French grecoue, an older or variant form related to grec (Greek). This appears to be an archaic French-influenced English term for 'Grecian' or 'Greek.'

Kelly Says

This is one of those fascinating relics where English borrowed a French version of a Greek word—creating a chain of language that traveled from Athens to Paris to London!
