قزح

Arabic

Etymology

From the root ق ز ح (q-z-ḥ). Compare Hebrew קֶצַח (qeṣaḥ, “black cumin (Nigella sativa))”). Jewish Palestinian Aramaic קִיצְחָא (qiṣḥā, “black cumin (Nigella sativa))”) is likely a Hebraism. But there is also Ugaritic 𐎖𐎕𐎈 (qṣḥ, “black cumin (Nigella sativa)”). Whereas the Classical Syriac lexicographers give ܟܷܣܚܳܐ (kesḥā, “small onion”).
