Etymology of almond.
Almond comes from the old french almande, from the Vulgar Latin amendla, from Latin amygdala, which is merely a transliteration of the Greek αμύγδαλα-amygdala (almonds).

In modern Greek
a) Αμύγδαλα: almonds [amygdala]

_
αμύγδαλα --> amygdala --> amendla --> almande --> almonds
