An alternative term for sesame seed, combining 'benni' with 'seed' to explicitly describe the product.
Compound of benni (Arabic/African origin) and seed (Old English seed). The combination created a more explicit term when clarity was needed about exactly which seed was being discussed.
Benniseed is a great example of how people create redundant compounds for clarity—'benni' alone meant the seed, but 'benniseed' removes all doubt, which was crucial in cooking and trade.
