Compare Akkadian 𒈝𒈬𒌅 (ḫummuṭu, “to apply heat, to burn, to scorch, to parch, to roast”).

• IPA^(key): /ħam.ma.sˤa/

حَمَّصَ • (ḥammaṣa) II (non-past يُحَمِّصُ (yuḥammiṣu), verbal noun تَحْمِيص (taḥmīṣ))

1. to roast (coffee or meat), toast (bread)

• مِحْمَصَة (miḥmaṣa, “coffee roaster”)

The vowel variation points to it being borrowed from Aramaic חִימְצָא (ḥimməṣā) / חוּמְצָא (ḥumməṣā, “chickpea”). Cognate with Hebrew חִמְצָה (ḥimṣā́), possibly also related to Akkadian 𒋰 (TAB /⁠ḫamāṭu⁠/, “to apply heat, to burn, to scorch, to parch, to roast”), in the sense of being dehydrated or dried out beans.
