خِطْمِيّ (noun)

Etymology: Preparations from the marshmallow have been used for preparations to wash the head, so it appears to be خَطْم (ḵaṭm, “the nose and the mouth, snout”) + ـِيّ (-iyy), though such a use of nisba is not common and it does not explain the variation with ت (t) instead of ط (ṭ); maybe originally from Aramaic חלמיתא / ܚܠܡܝܬܐ (ḥlamītā) / ܚܠܡܬܐ (ḥlamtā, “alkanet, Anchusa officinalis”) with which there have been mutual mistranslations. Clearly now Hebrew חֶלְמִית (ḥelmī́ṯ) is used for mallows, the Malva genus and species.

Meaning: a marshmallow (Althaea gen. et spp.); a confectionery marshmallow; a rosemallow (Hibiscus gen. et spp.); a hollyhock (Alcea gen. et spp.)
