خردل

Arabic

خَرْدَل

Etymology

Uncertain etymology, previous comparisons to an Akkadian source have be depreciated as uninformed readings; compare Hebrew חַרְדָּל‎ (ḥardal), Jewish Palestinian Aramaic חרדלא‎ (ḥardlā), Jewish Babylonian Aramaic חַרְדְּלָא‎ (ḥardlā), Classical Syriac ܚܪܕܠܐ‎ (ḥardlā), and potentially Akkadian 𒄷𒊏𒁺 (/ḫurādu/, “unidentified aromatic plant possibly in reference to mustard seeds; aromatic seed or spice mix”, literally “pebbles, little stones”); perhaps connected ultimately to Proto-Semitic *ḥaraθ- (“to sow, to plant seeds, to till, to plow, to cultivate”) or Sumerian 𒌑𒄯𒄯 (/ḫarḫar/, “unidentified plant yielding seeds used as a spice”) of uncertain provenance.
