Talk:maida

@Metaknowledge: Hi, you added in this edit that maida comes from Tamil, I can't find anything on this. Though the Hindi Shabdasagar does say that maida comes from Farsi. The etymology from Tamil seems incorrect to me. Gotitbro (talk) 17:54, 13 March 2019 (UTC)

I don't know why I assumed at the time that Tamil was the direct source of the English word, but I suppose it's probably the case that Tamil and English both borrowed it from Hindi. I'll change it to Hindi accordingly. @AryamanA —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 18:48, 13 March 2019 (UTC)

@Metaknowledge: Cleaned up the Hindi and added the Persian etymon to the English. —Aryaman^{A (मुझसे बात करें • योगदान)} 21:07, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
