== Etymology ==
The English "cumin" is derived from the Old English, from Latin ''cuminum'', which is the Latinisation of the Greek (''kyminon''),〔.〕 cognate with Hebrew (''kammon'') and Arabic (''kammūn''). The earliest attested form of the word in Greek is the Mycenaean , ''ku-mi-no'', written in Linear B syllabic script.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.palaeolexicon.com/ShowWord.aspx?Id=16794 )〕 Forms of this word are attested in several ancient Semitic languages, including ''kamūnu'' in Akkadian.〔"(Kamūnu )."
