Mentioned by Zhang Hua 張華 (232–300), Shi Chong 石崇 (249–300), and Lu Ji 陸機 (261–303).
It is a phono-semantic matching of an Iranian form *koswi, *košwi, *gošwi (Laufer, 1967). Compare Middle Persian gšnyc (gišnīz, “coriander”), kšnyc (kišnīz), whence Modern Persian گشنیز (gešniz, “coriander”). Also compare Sanskrit कुस्तुम्बरी (kustumbarī).
