طيون

Arabic

Etymology

Looks like an Aramaic cognate of ظَيَّان‎ (ẓayyān), however also like exposing a Ancient Greek ending: probably a loan from Aramaic, in view of the attestation of Classical Syriac ܕܝܢܘܣ‎ (dynws, “celandine”), a distortion of Ancient Greek χελιδόνιον (khelidónion). Compare the botanically close Arabic طُبَّاق‎ (ṭubbāq, “Dittrichia viscosa”) having a similar correspondence ṭ /tˀ/ to d /d/.
