Etymology

From Proto-Indo-Iranian *máša-; compare Persian ماش (mâš, vetch, mung bean) and Shughni мах̌ (max̌, pea, bean), as well as, outside of Indo-Iranian, Albanian modhull (vetch)[1] and Romanian mazăre (peas). Said terms seem to go back to a Proto-Indo-European *meh₂ǵʰ- (small bean), though based on the "local vegetable" semantic category and irregular sound correspondences between the Indo-Iranian and European terms, the source word is likely to be ultimately of non-Indo-European substrate origin.[2]
