إشقيل

Where it comes from

From Ancient Greek σκίλλα (skílla). Perhaps more often rendered by ش (š) in Arabic, otherwise rare in Greek borrowings save for historical laminal /s/ pronunciation in Vulgar Latin or Romance engendering it, because in Classical Syriac in which the word had spread earlier it had ܣ (s) which corresponds in inherited cognates to Proto-Semitic *ś.

noun إشْقِيل · ʔišqīl · الْإشْقِيل · إشْقِيلٌ

squill (Drimia maritima)
Similar: عُنْصُل, بَصَل الفَأْر
