### Etymology 2

Borrowed from Late Old Swedish kumin, from Old High German kumin and/or Old French cummin, from Latin cuminum, from Ancient Greek κύμινον (kúminon), ultimately of Semitic origin.

#### Noun

kumina
* caraway, Persian cumin (plant in Apiaceae family, Carum carvi)
    Synonym: maustekumina
* caraway (the seeds of that plant, used as spice)

##### Usage notes

cumin in Finnish is juustokumina, not kumina; that makes this word a false friend.
