فول

فول

See also: قول‎ and ق و ل‎

Arabic

Etymology

Claimed to be borrowed from Aramaic פֹּולא‎ (pōlā, “bean”), which is supported by the names of other grain-yielding legumes حِمَّص‎ (ḥimmaṣ, “chickpea”), بَاقِلّاء‎ (bāqillāʾ, “broad bean”), تُرْمُس‎ (turmus, “lupin”), خُلَّر‎ (ḵullar), جُلُبَّان‎ (julubbān, “grasspea”), فَصْفَص‎ (faṣfaṣ, “lucerne”) being borrowed from Aramaic, though عَدَس‎ (ʿadas, “lentils”) is an example against this. Ultimately perchance from Proto-Semitic *pūl- (“bean, corn, seed, grains, little pieces”); possibly distantly related to Egyptian prj (“to emerge”) and prt (“growing season”).
