Though ties are admittedly scarce in Israel, they still have a word: עניבה

.

For example:

עניבות עונבים בישראל בעיקר בכנסת.

(People) wear ties in Israel mainly in the Knesset.

Where does עניבה

come from? It first appears in Mishnaic Hebrew where it refers to a looped garment people would tie around their necks. It may have something to do with ענב

– a grape – due to the loop’s roundish look.
