Etymology

edit

From Old Galician-Portuguese garvanço, from ervanço, from an Indo-European substrate language (Proto-Germanic *arwīts (pea), Latin ervum (vetch)) and ultimately possibly a Mediterranean borrowing cognate with Ancient Greek ἐρέβινθος (erébinthos).[1]

Cognate with dialectal Portuguese ervanço, Spanish garbanzo.
