הדס

Where it comes from

Sometimes also vocalized, perhaps archaically, הָדָס (hāḏā́s), and probably the same as Aramaic אָסָא / ܐܵܣܵܐ (ʾāsā, “myrtle”), Arabic آس (ʔās, “myrtle”), Akkadian 𒄑𒊍 (asum, “myrtle”) with multiple determiners, compare typologically Hebrew צַתְרָה (ṣaṯrā́, “savory”), Arabic زَعْتَر (zaʕtar, “wild thyme”), also denoting odoriferous plants, explained semantically as an old ذُو عِطْرٍ (ḏū ʕiṭrin, “having scent”).
