سلق

Arabic

Etymology 1

Cognate with Aramaic שְׁלַק / ܫܠܰܩ (‍šlaq, “to boil”), whereas Ge'ez ተሳለቀ (täsaläḳä, “to scoff at”) is unrelated but the source of the Qurʾānic use for verbal “bashing” and related by metathesis to the Ugaritic 𐎖𐎍𐎕 (qlṣ, “to scorn”), Hebrew קִלֵּס (qilles, “to mock”), dialectal Arabic قَلَّسَ (qallasa, “to mock”).

     وأمّا الغَوشَنة فهي قريبة من الكمأة باردة رطبة وهي أقلّ بردًا وأصلح، وفيها بورقية وملوحة تفارقها عند السلق ويصلحها السلق. وليس له من الغلظ واللزوجة ورداءة الخلط ما الكمأة وهي تؤكل بالحموضات ولَذَّته كلَذَّة الغضاريف.

     In what bespeaks the morel, it is near truffles, cold and wet, and in it less cold and more healthy, and it has a basicity and acidity that parts it on seething, so seething betters it. And it hasn’t the coarseness and stickiness and badness for the humour which a truffle has and it is eaten with sour things and its sensory delectability is like the sensory delectability of cartilage.
