How the two words are related
Loanword
Borrowed between the languages (or by both from a third).
Both Hebrew בורגול and Arabic burghul carry the same Turkic/Persian word for cracked, parboiled wheat into their kitchens — no native Semitic root, just a shared borrowing that shows up in tabbouleh and kibbeh alike.
