Talk:maida

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. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 18:48, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Cleaned up the Hindi and added the Persian etymon to the English. —AryamanA (मुझसे बात करें • योगदान) 21:07, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
