Original entry ↗noun
Selected source glosses provide context, not a complete modern definition inventoryA dark-skinned variety of grape, used to produce red wines. · A wine produced from this variety of grape.
Borrowed from French syrah. The derivation from the Persian city name of Shiraz (شیراز) is today believed to be a legend. The same goes for derivations from Syria, Syracuse or the Greek island of Syros. The name might be connected to the Celtic root Proto-Celtic *serrā, "billhook", referring to the method of harvesting.
