कबाबचीनी
Hindi
Etymology
A plant native to Srivijaya, apparently a calque of Javanese kumukus (“cubeb; smoke”), from kukus (“smoke, steam”), based on Hindi कबाब (kabāb, “roast meat, kebab”), or this calque happened first in Arabic كَبَابَة (kabāba), which has also a convincing derivation from كِبَّة (kibba, “globule; meatball”); then likely acquired in Hindustani via Persian کبابه چینی (kabâba-yi čînî), کباب چینی (kabâb-i čînî, “cubeb”) from it.
