1. Cuminnoun

   A plant.

   Etymology: cuminum, Latin.

   The root is annual, the leaves like those of fenel: the seeds small, long, narrow, and crooked; two of which succeed each other’s flower, as in other umbelliferous plants. The seeds of this plant are used in medicine, which are brought from the island of Malta, where it is cultivated; for it is too tender for our climate. Philip Miller.

   Rank-smelling rue, and cumin, good for eyes. Edmund Spenser.
