Etymology 2

From the family above due to its being cut in dry strips, like قُرْط (qurṭ, “Egyptian clover”) from قَرَطَ (qaraṭa, “to chop”), apparently in occasional distinction from رَطْبَة (raṭba, “alfalfa”) as of alfalfa in a wet (رَطْب (raṭb)) state, in spite of Bos and Käs declaring the word to come apparently from Persian (qot), which is rare and listed by Vullers as itself from Arabic. Note that قَتَاد (qatād, “milkvetch”) is also a faboid.

Noun

قَتّ • (qatt) m

lucerne (various Medicago spp.)
Synonyms: فِصْفِص (fiṣfiṣ), رَطْبَة (raṭba), بِرْسِيم حِجَازِيّ (birsīm ḥijāziyy)
- 1025, ابن سينا [Avicenna], القانون في الطب [Canon Medicinae]:
  قت: الماهية: هو الأسفست أي الرطبة وهو علف الدواب.
  آلات المفاصل: دهن القت أنفع شيء للرعشة يذهب بها.
  Qatt: Its nature: It is alfalfa, lucerne, a fodder crop.
  Joints: The oil of lucerne helps a bit against shudder.
- a. 1050, مروان بن جناح [Marwān ibn Janāḥ], edited by Gerrit Bos, Fabian Käs, كتاب التلخيص [kitāb at-talḵīṣ] [On the Nomenclature of Medicinal Drugs], Leiden: Brill, published 2020, →DOI, →ISBN, 852 (fol. 72r,12–15), page 988:
  قتّ، قال أبو حنيفة: هو جفيف القضب، والقتّ هو الفصفصة، وقد ذكرنا الفصفصة في حرف الفاء وقلنا هناك إنّه يقال لها بالعجمية يربة دموله ومعناه عُشْبة البغلة.
  Lucerne. Abū Ḥanīfa equates it with dry قَضْب (qaḍb). It is فِصْفِصَة (fiṣfiṣa). We have just noted فِصْفِصَة (fiṣfiṣa) under the letter f. There we said that it is called in Romance yerba de mula which means she-mule herb.
