Etymologie (Englisch)

A Wanderwort akin to Old Armenian սիսեռն (siseṙn, “chickpea”), Ancient Macedonian κίκερροι (kíkerroi, “chickpea”), perhaps also Ancient Greek κριός (kriós, “a variety of chickpea”). Compare also Old Georgian ცერცჳ (cercwi, “broad bean; Vicia faba”), whence Georgian ცერცვი (cercvi).
