means A reddish powdered spice made from dried, ground sweet or hot peppers, used to color and flavor food.
from English borrowed it from Hungarian 'paprika,' which took it from a Serbian/Croatian diminutive of 'papar' meaning 'pepper' — itself descended from Latin 'piper' and ultimately Greek 'peperi,' a name that originally traveled west from India. The fun twist of history: the peppers themselves came the other way, carried back to Europe from the Americas after Columbus, then ground into a spice the Hungarians made famous.
