Hummus is a bean dip. A Chickpea is a bean. The end result is used for
a dip. Thus; Bean dip. Bean dips can be almost anything made with
beans and served in a consistency suitable to dip other foods in.

From Wiki:
"transliteration of < an Arabic word >, also spelled hamos, hommos,
hommus, homos, houmous, hummos, hummous, or humus is a Levantine Arab
dip or spread made from cooked, mashed chickpeas, blended with tahini,
olive oil, lemon juice, salt and garlic. It is a popular food
throughout the Middle East and elsewhere."
