Etymology

Appears first in the first century AD, at the height of expansion of the Empire. Also exists a Ancient Greek σεμίδᾱλις (semídālis), this presumably directly borrowed from Aramaic סְמִידָא‎ /‎ ܣܡܻܝܕܳܐ‎ (səmīḏā), from Akkadian 𒆠𒅔𒆠𒅔𒄯𒄯 (/samīdu/, “a type of fine groats, coarse flour, semolina”), related to Akkadian 𒀀𒊏𒄯𒄯 (/samādu/, “to grind fine”).
