Etymology
From the root խում- (xum-, “leavening, fermentation”) + -որ (-or). The root is found in անխում (anxum, “unleavened”) and խմեալ (xmeal, “leavened”) and is borrowed from Classical Syriac ܚܡܥ (ḥmaʿ, “to ferment, to become light by the action of leaven or yeast”), of native Semitic origin, cognate to the Hebrew root ח־מ־ץ (ḥ-m-ṣ) and Arabic ح م ض (ḥ-m-ḍ).
Noun
