كركم
Arabic
Alternative forms
- كُرْكُب (kurkub)
Etymology
Semitic cognates include Aramaic כּוּרְכְּמָא, ܟܽܘܪܟܡܳܐ (kurkmā), Akkadian 𒌑𒆪𒄀𒆸𒈾 (/kurkanū/), Hebrew כַּרְכֹּם / כַּרְכֹּום (karkom); however because of non-philological evidence it is a preferred assumption that the Arabic comes via India, from Sanskrit कुङ्कुम (kuṅkuma).
