بيقية

Arabic

بِيقِيَّة – Vicia villosa

Etymology

From Aramaic בִּיקְיָא (bīqəyā), so used in Jewish Palestinian Aramaic as well as in Mishnaic Hebrew and hence current Hebrew בִּקְיָה (biqyā), בִּיקְיָה (bīqyā), from Ancient Greek βῐκία (bikía) or βῐκίον (bikíon), a Koine Greek borrowing of Latin vicia (“vetch”). A vulgar form has been used in South Levantine Arabic and Egyptian Arabic as باقية (bāqya), perhaps a crossover with بَاقِلّاء (bāqillāʔ, “broad bean (Vicia faba)”).
