Etymology
The word comes from ḥummuṣ 'chickpeas'. Like other Arabic loanwords, its spelling in English is unstable. The earliest known use of the word hummus in English, noted by the Oxford English Dictionary (OED), was in 1955.Oxford English Dictionary (Second Edition) CD-ROM Version 3.1.1 (2007), Oxford, Oxford University Press The three most common spellings for the word as transliterated into English are hummus, hommos and hoummos. The spelling humus is avoided in English due to its having the same spelling as another English word humus, though this is the most common Turkish spelling and the OED indicates the word entered the English language from Turkish. The full Arabic name of the prepared spread is lang: حُمُّص بطحينة (ḥummuṣ bi ṭaḥīna) which means chickpeas with tahina.
Historical origins
Many cuisine-related sources carry forward a folklore which describes hummus as one of the oldest known prepared foodsmideastfood.about.com, Hummus 101, retrieved 28 February 2008 with a long history in the Middle East which stretches back to antiquity, but its historical origins are unknown. The historical enigma is such that the origins of hummus-bi-tahini could be much more recent than is widely believed. One of the earliest verifiable descriptions of hummus comes from 18th-century Damascus and the same source claims it was unknown elsewhere.
Meanwhile some cookbooks repeat the legend that hummus was first prepared in the 12th century by Saladin. Sources such as Cooking in Ancient Civilizations by Cathy K. Kaufman carry speculative recipes for an ancient Egyptian hummus, substituting vinegar for lemon juice, but acknowledge we do not know how the Egyptians ate their chick-peas. Similarly, no recipe for hummus has been identified among the many books on cooking surviving from ancient Rome.
