The term comes via [[Middle English]] ''comyn'', from [[Old English]] ''cymen'' (which is cognate with [[Old High German]] ''kumin'') and [[Old French]] cummin, both from the Latin term {{lang|la|cuminum}}. This in turn comes from the [[Ancient Greek]] {{lang|grc|κύμινον}} ({{Lang|grc-latn|kúminon}}), a [[Semitic languages|Semitic]] borrowing related to [[Hebrew language|Hebrew]] {{lang|he|{{Script|Hebrew|כמון}}|rtl=yes}} ({{Lang|he-latn|kammōn}}) and [[Arabic]] {{lang|ar|{{Script|Arabic|كمون}}|rtl=yes}} ({{Lang|ar-latn|kammūn}}). All of these ultimately derive from [[Akkadian language|Akkadian]] {{lang|akk|𒂵𒈬𒉡}} ({{Lang|akk-latn|kamūnu}}).
