garbanço

Old Spanish

Etymology

Of uncertain origin:

• Perhaps altered from arvanço and of Germanic origin, from an unattested Gothic *𐌰𐍂𐍅𐌰𐌹𐍄𐍃 (*arwaits), from Proto-Germanic *arwīts (“pea”).
• From a pre-Roman substrate of Iberia such as Basque garbantzu and perhaps related to the Germanic source above.

Presumably influenced by garroba (“carob fruit”) and galbana (“small pea; a variety of pea”).
