Uncertain. Possibly from an unattested regional Vulgar Latin variant ofLatincoriandrum — where also its doubletculantro, today obsolete, comes from — with a front vowel, like *ciliandrum or *ceriandrum. (CompareFrenchcoriandre,Italiancoriandolo,Portuguesecoentro) fromAncient Greekκορίαννον(koríannon,“coriander”),κορίανδρον(koríandron).)
- IPA(key): (Spain)/θiˈlantɾo/[θiˈlãn̪.t̪ɾo]

- Rhymes:-antɾo
- Syllabification:ci‧lan‧tro

- Unlike the English term borrowed from it, the Spanish term refers to both the plants and the seeds.
