برسيم

/bir.siːm/

Where it comes from

From Coptic ⲃⲉⲣⲥⲓⲙ (bersim, “Egyptian clover”), itself suggested a Middle Iranian borrowing, equalling Persian برسم (barsam, barsom) meaning a “bundle of twigs” of uncertain botanical identity brandished by Zoroastrians during recitation.

noun بِرْسِيم · birsīm · الْبِرْسِيم · بِرْسِيمٌ

Trifolium alexandrinum, Egyptian clover (a trefoil widely used as forage crop)
