"legumen" meaning in Latin

See legumen in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: [ɫɛˈɡuː.mɛn] [Classical-Latin], [leˈɡuː.men] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: Uncertain. Possibly connected to legere (“to gather”) because they can be scooped up in the hand. The second element appears to be the common noun-forming suffix -men, but the connecting -ū- is unexplained. Alternatively, a loanword from some other language, but no cognates have been identified.
