cinnamonとは 意味・読み方・使い方

語源

From Middle English synamome, from Old French cinnamone, from Latin cinnamon, cinnamōmum, from Ancient Greek κιννάμωμον (kinnámōmon), later κίνναμον (kínnamon), probably to be explained as “Chinese amomum”, ἄμωμον (ámōmon) being, only cognate to Classical Syriac ܚܡܵܡܵܐ‎ (ḥəmāmā) and Arabic حَمَامَا‎ (ḥamāmā), a phytonym of lost provenience for a varied genus Amomum of spice and drug plants; compare for this composition the Iranian designation دارچین‎ (dârčin, literally “Chinese tree”).
