Etymology 2

Borrowed from Late Old Swedish kumin, 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)

   Synonym: maustekumina

2. caraway (the seeds of that plant, used as spice)

Usage notes

cumin in Finnish is juustokumina (spice) or roomankumina (plant), not kumina; that makes this word a false friend.
