Etymology
From Middle Dutch comijn. Ultimately from Latin cumīnum, from Ancient Greek κύμινον (kúminon). The word had already entered early West Germanic as *kumīn (also *kumil), but such a form should have umlaut and initial stress in Dutch (*keumen). Therefore borrowed anew from Old French comin, or at least influenced by it. Doublet of kummel (from German). See: Latin Nouns '
cumīnum', Ancient Greek Nouns '
κύμινον'.
