Meaning: darnel, Lolium temulentum (Ev. Matt. 13, 25, Gp., EM).
Origin: LW [a loanword which is (probably) not of Pre-Greek origin] Orient. (Sum.)
Etymology: Loanwort, cf. Lewy Fremdw. 52. Strömberg Wortstudien 43f. reminds of the plant name ζάνη (Σαρδιανή; Hippiatr.) and ἁμαζανίδες αἱ μηλέαι (apple-tree) H. DELG states that the word entered Greek from Jews and Christians, and so will go back ultimately on Sum. zizan wheat (the plant resembles wheat).
