Etymology
Κάρι entered Greek in the 20th century as a loanword from English curry. English took the word from Tamil kari, meaning a spiced sauce or relish eaten with rice. British colonial trade in India carried the word into European languages, and Greek absorbed it through English rather than directly from Tamil.
