Claimed to be borrowed from Aramaic פֹּולא (pōlā, “bean”), which is supported by the names of other grain-yielding legumes حِمَّص (ḥimmaṣ, “chickpea”), بَاقِلّاء (bāqillāʔ, “broad bean”), تُرْمُس (turmus, “lupin”), خُلَّر (ḵullar), جُلُبَّان (julubbān, “grasspea”), فَصْفَص (faṣfaṣ, “lucerne”) being borrowed from Aramaic, though عَدَس (ʕadas, “lentils”) is an example against this. Ultimately perchance from Proto-Semitic *pūl- (“bean, corn, seed, grains, little pieces”); possibly distantly related to Egyptian prj (“to emerge”) and prt (“growing season”).
