cummin
Earthy Middle Eastern spice
Cummin is a variant spelling of cumin, the aromatic spice made from dried seeds of a plant in the parsley family.
This spelling appears in older texts, particularly the King James Bible: For the fitches are not threshed with a threshing instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned about upon the cummin.
Modern usage strongly favors cumin.
