This latter word, faba, was related to the Proto-Germanic bauno, from which the Old English word bean is derived and has the meaning of "bean, pea, legume". [14] When Phaseolus vulgaris arrived in Europe in the 16th century , this species was yet another seed in a pod, thus there were already words in the European languages describing it.
The words are transliterated according to IAST system. All words have been referenced with the Madras University Tamil Lexicon, which is used as the most authoritative and standard lexicon by mainstream scholars.

A selection of various legumes. This is a list of legume dishes.A legume is a plant in the family Fabaceae (or Leguminosae), or the fruit or seed of such a plant.

The word 'bean', for the Old World vegetable, existed in Old English, [3] long before the New World genus Phaseolus was known in Europe. With the Columbian exchange of domestic plants between Europe and the Americas, use of the word was extended to pod-borne seeds of Phaseolus, such as the common bean and the runner bean, and the related genus Vigna.
Green beans are young, unripe fruits of various cultivars of the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), [1] [2] although immature or young pods of the runner bean (Phaseolus coccineus), yardlong bean (Vigna unguiculata subsp. sesquipedalis), and hyacinth bean (Lablab purpureus) are used in a similar way.
