I've heard of "garbanzo beans" but never seen them on a menu or for sale anywhere. I just found out that's because it's just another term for chickpeas.

The Roman stateman Cicero is named after the latin word for chickpea, cicer.

Scissors derive from the same word, as they were originally designed for cutting chick peas in half.

I just figured out that Cici’s Pizza is called that because it’s named after Cicero, which means “to cut or slice,” and you slice pizza. Mind = blown.

I was going to respond by doubling-down harder on my bullshit etymology, but in the process of my research it turns out that the Cicero - chickpea connection was not, as I assumed, a joke and in fact is entirely true and in keeping with Roman surname traditions.

It was probably last year that I found out chickpeas are what we call kikherne (herne being the word for pea).

Jerry Cotton posted:It was probably last year that I found out chickpeas are what we call kikherne (herne being the word for pea). Same in Danish (kikært). The Germanic word for peas (de. Erbsen, da. ærter, etc) is actually hypothesised to be from the pre-Germanic substrate, ie. the languages spoken in northern Europe prior to the Indo-European migration. See for example G. Kroonen, Non-Indo-European root nouns in Germanic: evidence in support of the Agricultural Substrate Hypothesis, 2012.

Hugh Malone posted:Cheechero? Latin c was only ever pronounced k. Kik-er-oh. Likewise Caesar is pronounced "Kaiser" hence that being a term for a leader in German. The reason for the confusion is because terminal sigma, ς, looks like a c but, being sigma, is pronounced s. This is why Cyrillic's C is a Latin S. Hence the Soviet Union being the CC (Sovietskiy Soyuz) and USSR the CCCP (Soyuz Soviets Socialist Respubliks, to spell it like a heathen who can't speak Russian). P being R because of rho.

a quick Google indicates that's how the church pronunced Cicero, after the classical period, which would explain the 'chee chee' bean pronunciation. today I just figured out not to participate in language derails itt

Tesseraction posted:Latin c was only ever pronounced k. Kik-er-oh. Likewise Caesar is pronounced "Kaiser" hence that being a term for a leader in German. There's also an interesting theory about how Etruscans spoke revolving around the letter "C". Linguists believe that there was little or no difference between how they pronounced the K sound and the hard G sound. They believe this because when the Romans adopted the Greek alphabet from the Etruscans and transformed it into the Latin alphabet, they converted Gamma into C (pronounced K) and created a separate new letter "G" (which is just a crossed C, if you think about it) for the consonant sound that Gamma used to provide. The Romans also kept K around for writing Greek loan words, for some reason.

Anyone with the name 'Fabian' is gonna lose their mind for a similar reason. The Romans loved their peas and beans!

Weembles posted:There's also an interesting theory about how Etruscans spoke revolving around the letter "C". This also makes sense given how Ankara was historically called Angora by the Romans, suggesting a kinda k-g hybrid.

I highly recommend The History of English podcast The early episodes, which I'm slowly working my way through now, discuss the vowel shifts that have changed pronunciations of words across Indo-European languages and he also spends time discussing the Centum / Satem divide in PIE and subsequent languages.

What's the difference between a garbanzo bean and a chickpea? President Donald Trump never allegedly paid to have several garbanzo beans on his face. Allegedly.
