Etymology

[edit]

Probably an Aramaic diminutive, form as in جَامُور (jāmūr), شَاقُول (šāqūl) etc., from the etymon of صِنّ (ṣinn), صَنّ (ṣann, a kind of basket with a lid), since without modern equipment it must have been some smaller crockware rather than the currently most frequent metal pans that contain the dip.
