Esp.tabacorust of certain cereals; tobacco. This word cannot
derive from Haitian tsibatl, a quite unknown term, and perhaps a local pronunciation of French tabac. In Haiti tobacco was known only as pétun, an indigenous word. Long before Colombus, the Arabic tabbàq was given to dried plants utilized in medicinal fumigations (and prob. as a narcotic). The publication or the word in Arabic writings before its attestation in other languages is no proof of a Semitic origin. Inhalation of smoke from dried plants for a curative purpose, with the aid of a smoking device, was described by Pliny. The smoke cures of the Greco-Roman medicine may have passed on to the Arabs, and with them, it can be presumed, the Mediterranean name. The semantic and distribution of the root tab- "reddish brown" attest to its ancientness and its I.E. origin.
