أرضي شوكي

Arabic

Etymology

Phono-semantic matching of English artichoke, based on the native words أَرْضِيّ (ʔarḍiyy, “earthly, terrestrial, of ground”) and شَوْكِيّ (šawkiyy, “thorny, prickly”) (i.e. “growing in earth and thorny”), the nisba forms of أَرْض (ʔarḍ, “earth”) and شَوْك (šawk, “thorn”), respectively.

English artichoke is in turn of Arabic origin, ultimately from الْخُرْشُوف (al-ḵuršūf, “artichoke”).
