Etymology

Literally “have-not-eat-seed”.

This is a phono-semantic matching from some language in the Western Regions, possibly the Middle Iranian ancestors of Modern Persian مازوج‎ (mâzuj), مازو‎ (mâzu, “gallnut; gall-apple or oak-apple”).

Compare Hindi माजूफल (mājūphal, “gallnut”) (with फल (phal, “fruit”)), Urdu ماجو‎ (mājū), مازو‎ (māzū), ماجوپهل‎ (mājūphal, “oak gall”), Turkish mazı (“gallnut”).
