syringe: [15] Syringes get their name from their cylindrical shape. The word comes from late Latin syringa, an alteration of Latin syrinx, which in turn went back to Greek súrigx ‘pipe, shepherd’s pipe’. The stems of both the mock orange shrub and the lilac were used for making such pipes – hence their alternative name syringa [17]. => syringa
syringe (n.)
"narrow tube for injecting a stream of liquid," early 15c. (earlier suringa, late 14c.), from Late Latin syringa, from Greek syringa, accusative of syrinx "tube, hole, channel, shepherd's pipe," related to syrizein "to pipe, whistle, hiss," from PIE root *swer- (see susurration). Originally a catheter for irrigating wounds; the application to hypodermic needles is from 1884. Related: Syringeal.
