ليمون

/laj.muːn/

Where it comes from

Borrowed from Classical Persian لیمو (līmū, līmō) (compare Tajik лемӯ (lemü), лимӯ (limü)), a loanword, probably from Sanskrit निम्बू (nimbū, “lime”). The form لُومِيّ (lūmiyy) is a separate borrowing introduced via Omani Arabic from Tamil எலுமிச்சை (elumiccai, “lemon, lime”), often meaning dried lemons traded as a spice specifically.
