Etymology
The word semolina comes from Italian semola, meaning 'coarse flour', with the small ending -ina meaning 'little', so semolina is basically 'little coarse flour'. Think of it as a coarse yellow 'meal' from durum wheat used for pasta and sweets, which is why the name now means that kind of flour.
