Etymology

[edit]

Belongs to the same family of borrowed terms as Arabic سَمِيذ (samīḏ). The immediate source of the Armenian is said to be Ancient Greek σεμίδαλις (semídalis),[1][2][3] but the phonetic correspondence is irregular. The -ն- (-n-) is found also in Old Georgian სიმინდოჲ / სიმინდი (simindoy / simindi, “fine flour”), Georgian სიმინდი (simindi, “corn, maize”). For the shape of the word compare Old Armenian կղմինդր (kłmindr).

Noun

[edit]

սիմինդր • (simindr)

  1. (post-Classical) fine flour
    Synonym: նաշիհ (naših)
