cuscús


Explanation:
Existe el término en español: cuscús
Es una comida del norte de África (de la región conocida como Magreb). La he comido en Francia y se basa en una especie de sopa (hervido, puchero) de vegetales sobre la cual se cuece al vapor el "cuscús" propiamente dicho. Luego se toma la sopa mezclando en ella el cuscús.
Este cuscús no es en sí el nombre del cereal, sino el nombre de una pasta, muy diminuta, como granos gruesos, elaborados de sémola (trigo candeal desnudo de su corteza, según el DRAE).
Como podrás ver en las definiciones en inglés (Cambridge) y español (Real Academia), es una palabra que viene del árabe, kuskús.

REAL ACADEMIA:

cuscús. (Del fr. couscous, y este del ár. kuskús).
1. m. Comida típica magrebí, hecha con sémola en grano y salsa, servida con carne o verduras

CAMBRIDGE:
couscous
noun [U]
a food, originally from N Africa, consisting of crushed wheat that is cooked by steaming and served with meat or vegetables

Te saluda,
