cuminn.

Brit.

/ˈkʌmɪn/,

/ˈk(j)uːmɪn/, U.S.

/ˈkəmən/

Forms: Old English kymen, cymen, cymyn, Middle English cumin /y/, Middle English–1600s comyn, comyne, Middle English–1500s cummyn, Middle English–1600s comen, 1500s comeyn, commine, commen, commyn, 1600s comin(e, cum(m)ine, 1600s–1800s commin, (1700s–1800s cumming), 1500s– cum(m)in.

Etymology: Old English cymen ( < cumin), < Latin cumīnum (cymīnum), < Greek κύμῑνον. Compare Old High German chumin, cumin, also chumil (Middle High German kümel, German kümmel), Swedish kummin, Danish kummen. The word has also come down in the Romanic languages, Italian cumino, comino, Spanish comino, Portuguese cominho, Old French cumin, comin. Middle English cumin, comin was either from French (like Middle Dutch comijn, Dutch komijn), or altered from Old English cymen after French. The Greek κύμῑνον is supposed to have been a foreign word, cognate in origin with the Semitic names, Hebrew kammôn, Arabic kammûn, and their cognates. N.E.D. (1893) gives only the pronunciation (kɒ·min) /ˈkʌmɪn/.

a. An umbelliferous plant ( Cuminum Cyminum) resembling fennel: cultivated in the Levant for its fruit or seed, which possesses aromatic and carminative qualities; also called common cumin. oil of cumin: the essential oil of cumin seed, consisting of three hydrocarbons, cymene, cymol, and cuminol.garden cumin, Roman cumin: see the first element.
