The Turkish names lokma and lokum are derived from the Arabic word luqma(t) and its plural luqūm meaning "morsel" and "mouthful"[REF] and the alternative Ottoman Turkish name, rahat-ul hulküm,[REF] was an Arabic formulation, rāḥat al-hulqūm, meaning "comfort of the throat", which remains the name in formal Arabic [REF].
In English, it was formerly alternatively known as Lumps of Delight [REF].
