كنباث
Arabic
Etymology
Apparently from كَنْبَثَ (kanbaṯa), كَبَّثَ (kabbaṯa, “to be drawn together, to be shrunk, to have an inclination in such a fashion that from it things are carried into others”), while كَبِثَ (kabiṯa, “to be denatured”), in relation to its strobilus. Unrelated to Northwest Semitic *biṣbāṣ-, *baṣbāṣ- (“horsetail”), but the root reoccurs for Arabic phytonymy in كَبَاث (kabāṯ, “fruit of the toothbrush-tree”).
