chick-pea|ˈtʃɪk ˈpiː|
Forms: 6 ciche-, chiche-, 6–7 cich-, 7–8 chich-, 8– chick-.
[In 16–17th c. cich-pease, chich-pease, f. cich, chich + pease, after F. pois chiche (earlier simply chiche); but in the 18th c. altered (by some error) to chick-pea (cf. chichling, chickling).
Chick-pea is used in Lisle 1752, and is the form adopted by Johnson 1755: he names Miller as his authority; but Miller's word is chich pease.]
A dwarf species of pea (Cicer arietinum), largely used for food in the South of Europe, in Asia, and in Africa. Its earlier name was simply cich, chich.
