حلزون

Arabic

حَلَزُون

Etymology

Borrowed from Aramaic חְלָזֹונָא‎ / ܚܠܵܙܘܿܢܵܐ‎ (ḥəlāzōnā, “snail”). This has been reckoned to be from Ancient Greek ἑλικών (helikṓn) or ἑλικόν (helikón), but visibly it bears the diminutive ending -ōnā, relating to a base verb “to crawl”, see حِسْل‎ (ḥisl, “young of a spiny-tailed lizard”).

Noun

حَلَزُون • (ḥalazūn) m (collective, singulative حَلَزُونَة‎ f (ḥalazūna))

snail (a mollusk with a coiled shell)
pastry in the form of a snail or helix
