Etymology
From Middle French talmouse, talemouse, from South Levantine Arabic طَلْمُوسَة (ṭalmūse, “a kind of breadroll baked in hot ashes”), a Classical Syriac -ōs diminutive of ܛܘܠܡܬܐ (ṭulmtā) known from Classical Arabic as طُلْمَة (ṭulma, “a cake of bread beaten with the hand and baken in hot ashes”). Since the dough was formed by beating with the flat hand, the meaning of a slap does not constitute a different word.
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /tal.muz/
