Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymons: French zedewale, citoual.
Etymology: < Anglo-Norman zedwal, zedewal, zedewale, zedeuale, cetewale, cetual, citewal, Old French zedual, Old French, Middle French citoal, citoual, Middle French cetoal, sotoval (Palsgrave) zedoary (late 11th cent. as chitoual ), probably directly < Arabic zadwār zedoary n. (compare discussion below). Compare earlier zedoary n.Compare post-classical Latin zituala (c1200), cytowalla (1242 in a British source), cetewallum (1285 and 15th cent. in British sources), setewall' (14th cent. in a British source), seteuale (15th cent. in a British source), and also Old Occitan citoal (14th cent.), Spanish †çetoal (early 13th cent.; also †çetual (15th cent.)), all in sense ‘zedoary’. Specific forms. The ending in -l is difficult to account for. It may have originated by association of the ending of the Arabic word with classical Latin -āris -ar suffix1 (compare the variation of the Latin forms cited at zedoary n.) and subsequent suffix substitution, after classical Latin -ālis -al suffix1 and its reflexes in Romance languages. The γ. forms apparently show folk-etymological remodelling after plant names in -well , e.g. speedwell n. Specific senses. Sense 2 is apparently not paralleled in either French or Latin, and shows a semantic development within English. It could show a different word which has become assimilated in form to the pre-existing word in its other sense; compare wall n.1 and perhaps seed v. and set v.1 (the plant often grows on walls).
1. Any of several species of the genus Curcuma (family Zingiberaceae), esp. C. zedoaria, which are native to south Asia and have aromatic, tuberous rhizomes. Also: the rhizome of such a plant, used in cooking and (formerly) as a medicinal agent. Obsolete (historical in later use).Cf. zedoary n.
