garbanço

From Wiktionary, the free dictionary

Old Spanish

Etymology

Of uncertain origin:

Perhaps altered from arvanço and of Germanic origin, from an unattested Gothic *𐌰𐍂𐍅𐌰𐌹𐍄𐍃 (*arwaits), from Proto-Germanic *arwīts (“pea”).^[1]
From a pre-Roman substrate of Iberia such as Basque garbantzu and perhaps related to the Germanic source above.^[2]

Presumably influenced by garroba (“carob fruit”) and galbana (“small pea; a variety of pea”).
