chickpea

/ˈt͡ʃɪkˌpiː/ noun

A seed of this plant, often used as a food.

Word Origin Chickpea is a playful reshaping of Latin cicer, which meant chickpea. English speakers added 'pea' (from Latin pisum) to make it clearer, so it's literally 'chick-pea'. The 'chick' part is from cicer, not from chicken. So chickpea is a double-pea word, related to pea, pease, and other pea compounds.
