The Turkish word lokum may come from ???? lukuum, the Arabic plural of ???? luqma(t) 'morsel' or 'mouthful', which is also the origin of lokma.[3] Alternatively, it may be a corruption of Arabic ???? ?????? rahat al-hulkum 'contentment of the throat'.[4] The hybrid form rahat lokum is also found.[5]. In Libya, for example, it is known as ????? ?algūm.
In English, it was formerly called "lumps of delight".[6]
Turkish Delight, lokum, or loukoum is a confection made from starch and sugar. It is often flavored with rosewater and lemon, the former giving it a characteristic pale pink color. It has a soft, jelly-like and sometimes sticky consistency, and is often packaged and eaten in small cubes that are dusted with sugar or copra to prevent sticking. Some types contain small nut pieces, usually pistachio, hazelnut or walnuts. Other common types include flavors such as cinnamon or mint.
