Etymology 2

[edit]

The vowel variation points to it being borrowed from Aramaic חִימְצָא (ḥimməṣā) / חוּמְצָא (ḥumməṣā, chickpea). Cognate with Hebrew חִמְצָה (ḥimṣā́), possibly also related to Akkadian 𒋰 (TAB /⁠ḫamāṭu⁠/, to apply heat, to burn, to scorch, to parch, to roast), in the sense of being dehydrated or dried out beans.
