Etymology[edit]

From Middle Persian [script needed] (hwšk' /⁠hōšag⁠/, “ear of corn, cluster; the star Spica, the constellation Virgo”),[1] borrowed into Old Armenian խոշակ (xošak)[2] and into[3] Arabic حُوشَاكِيّ (ḥūšākiyy, “two-grained wheat”).[4] Note also the mushroom-name غوشنه (ğôšna, ğôšana) passed into Arabic غَوْشَنَة (ḡawšana, “morel”).

Probably from Proto-Iranian *Hawšaka-, a derivative of Proto-Indo-European *h₂ṓws (“ear”).[5]
