aguona
Lithuanian
Aguonos (1) - Poppies
Aguonos (2) - Poppy seeds
Etymology
Cognate with Latvian magone (“poppy”), while Old Prussian moke is a Slavic loan. Ultimately borrowed from a Germanic language, compare Old High German māho (“poppyseed”) > German Mohn (“poppy”); Estonian magun (“poppy”).
Also related are e.g. Russian мак (mak) < Proto-Slavic *makъ and Ancient Greek μήκων (mḗkōn). The root's Indo-European credentials are doubtful.
