editEtymology
editFrom Arabic فُول مُدَمَّس (fūl mudammas). The first part is فُول (fūl, “fava bean”); the second word is unlikely to be the Coptic word meaning “buried” Coptic ⲧⲱⲙⲥ (tōms, “to bury”) as has been claimed but rather the Arabic root Arabic د م س (d m s, “hidden, buried”).
Noun
editful medames (uncountable)
