Etymology

From Middle Persian (šmblyt /⁠šamblīt, šamblīd⁠/), (šmblytk' /⁠šambalīdag⁠/, fenugreek), whence also Old Armenian շամղիտակ (šamłitak) and Arabic شِمْلِيدَج (šimlīdaj). Ultimately borrowed from a Semitic language. Compare Jewish Babylonian Aramaic שִׁבְּלִילְתָא (šibbəlīləṯā), Classical Syriac ܫܒܠܝܠܬܐ (šebbəlīltā) and ܦܠܝܠܬܐ (pəlīltā), all from Akkadian 𒊭𒄠𒁀𒇷𒅋𒌈 (/⁠šambaliltum⁠/), 𒊭𒁀𒇸𒌅 (/⁠šabbaliltu⁠/), 𒊭𒄠𒈬 𒁀𒅋𒌈 (/⁠šammu baliltu⁠/, fenugreek, literally mixture grass).

The word is found in other modern Iranian languages: compare Harzani (šunbulla), Badakhshan Tajik шалит (šalit, orach), Wakhi šlit, šliṭ (Chenopodium album), Shiraz Persian شملیز (šamliz) and Central Kurdish شمڵی (şimllî).
