Derived terms

مِحْمَصَة‎ (miḥmaṣa, “coffee roaster”)

Etymology 2

The vowel variation points to it being borrowed from Aramaic חִימְצָא‎ (ḥimməṣā) / חוּמְצָא‎ (ḥumməṣā, “chickpea”). Cognate with Hebrew חִמְצָה‎ (ḥimṣā́), possibly also related to Akkadian 𒋰 (TAB /ḫamāṭu/, “to apply heat, to burn, to scorch, to parch, to roast”), in the sense of being dehydrated or dried out beans.
