دعسوقة

/duʕ.suː.qa/

Where it comes from

Possibly from Persian کفشدوزک (kafšduzak, “ladybug”, literally “little shoemaker or cobbler”), a name that alludes to the spots on its back; however, the etymological connection is not fully established, and some forms in Arabic differ markedly from the Persian original.
