From Aramaic כַּרְשִׁינָא (karšinnā) or Hebrew כַּרְשִׁינָה (karšīna). That is explained as from Sanskrit कृष्ण (kṛṣṇa, “black”) and so this is a doublet of كُشْنَى (kušnā, “Vicia palaestina”), which comes via Classical Syriac ܟܘܫܢܐ (kūšnā), also in Akkadian 𒄘𒃻𒄯𒊏 (/kiššanu/), or instead as from Classical Syriac ܟܱܪܣܴܢܳܐ (karsānā, karsannā, “ventrose”) (to Proto-Semitic *kariś- (“paunch”)) because of flatulence of the belly one has when eating from this plant.
Akin to Old Armenian քրսամն (kʻrsamn), Armenian քուռուշնա (kʻuṙušna), Azerbaijani kürüşnə, kürişnə.
