Etymology

From Old Persian [Term?], from Aramaic סְמִידָא / ܣܡܻܝܕܳܐ (səmīḏā), from Akkadian 𒆠𒅔𒆠𒅔𒄯𒄯 (/⁠samīdu⁠/, a type of fine groats, coarse flour, semolina), related to Akkadian 𒀀𒊏𒄯𒄯 (/⁠samādu⁠/, to grind fine). Akin to Sanskrit समीदा (samīdā), समिता (samitā, wheat-flour), possibly an Old Persian borrowing.
