Factoid
The word Falafel has an interesting etymology and shows how deep the roots of food are across South and West Asia. The word falafel is of Arabic origin and is the plural of filfil borrowed from Persian pilpil from the Sanskrit word pippalī 'long pepper'; or an earlier filfal, from Aramaic pilpāl 'small round thing, peppercorn', derived from palpēl 'to be round, roll'
