    I’ve never seen anyone spell hummus like that lol! Apparently that’s how they spell it in the UK?

      I am in the UK so that would make sense. Going solely off of wikipedia’s page on the romanisation of Arabic, I’d hazard a guess that the UK spelling came via French

        I never realised that it’s not from latin, but apparently the words hummus and humus have nothing to do with each other.
