Etymology 2

Borrowed from Swedish kummin, from Old High German kumin and/or Old French cummin, from Latin cuminum, from Ancient Greek κύμινον (kúminon), ultimately of Semitic origin.

Noun

kumina

1. caraway, Persian cumin (plant in Apiaceae family, Carum carvi)
2. caraway (the seeds of that plant, used as spice)

Usage notes

cumin in Finnish is juustokumina, not kumina; that makes this word a false friend.
