Etymology

From Arabic اَلسُّوَيْس (as-suways), from ال (al-, the, place of the) + سويس, of uncertain origin but sometimes connected to South Levantine Arabic forms of سُوس (sūs, licorice). A folk etymology sometimes relates it to a supposed Egyptian suan (beginning), but this appears to be a ghost word or misinterpretation as no such word exists.
