καρπός

From Proto-Indo-European *kerp- (“pluck, harvest”). Compare Proto-Germanic *harbistaz (“harvest, autumn”), Proto-Slavic *čerpti (“to scoop, draw”) and Latin carpō (“to pick”), as well as Ancient Greek κείρω (keírō, “to cut off”), derived from the ultimate root *(s)ker- (“to cut”).

κᾰρπός • (karpós) m (genitive κᾰρποῦ); second declension (Epic, Attic, Ionic, Doric, Koine)

1. fruit, grain, produce, harvest
2. the product of something: children (fruit of the body), poetry (fruit of the mind), profit

• → Coptic: ⲕⲁⲣⲡⲟⲥ (karpos)

Perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *kʷerp- (“to turn”); if so, related to Proto-Germanic *hwerbaną (“to turn”) (English wharf).
