طبشورة

/tˤab.ʃuː.ra/

Where it comes from

Borrowed from Classical Persian تباشیر (tabāšīr, “chalk, clay, plaster; sugar from bamboo, tabasheer”) (perhaps borrowed from Hindi तबाशीर (tabāśīr, “tabasheer”)), ultimately from Sanskrit तवक्षीर (tavakṣīra, “white substance from bamboo, tabasheer”, literally “bark milk”); widely exported by Arabs in the medieval period for medicinal usage.
