    The origin of the word 'shakshouka' is a Hebrew word named 'leshakshek' which means 'to shake'.

    correct flem-ish, the dish is originally Tunisian thus the Hebrew etymological explanation (although technically correct) cannot account as valid. What i am looking for is the Arabic roots of the word.
