Etymology
Sesame comes from old Greek and Middle Eastern words, for example Arabic simsim, that named the same small, oily seeds used for oil and cooking. A helpful memory is the famous phrase 'Open sesame' from the story of Ali Baba, which makes you think of seed pods that split open and spill lots of seeds, and that is why sesame still means the oil-rich seeds we eat.
