Origin
Borrowed from Arabic بَابَا غَنُّوج (bābā ḡannūj, literally “father of coquetry”), becauseBorrowed from Arabic بَابَا غَنُّوج (bābā ḡannūj, literally “father of coquetry”), because it was supposedly invented by a member of a royal harem, perhaps to pamper the master: from بَابَا (bābā, “daddy, father, papa”) + غَنُّوج (ḡannūj, “coquettish, coy”) (compare غنج (ḡanija, “to coquet, flirt”)).
