  Vermicelli - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vermicelli (Italian, ver-mih-CHEL-lee, literally, “little worms”) is a type of pasta, round in section and somewhat thinner than spaghetti.
Vermicelli is known as shemai in Bengali and seviyan in Hindi and Urdu.
The term rice vermicelli is often used to describe the thin, transparent rice noodles (米粉) popular in China, also known as bee hoon in Hokkien, mai fun in Cantonese, and Bun in Vietnamese.

 yourDictionary.com • Library: Meaning of Vermicelli
the ending -"i" is a marker of "plural" (in Italian "vermicelli" is a plural word, so Italians say that the "vermicelli are ready", etc.), "-ell" is a suffix which, like the "-ett"- of "spaghetti", is associated with "smallness" or "delicacy" (the "-ic" which precedes it is merely an 'empty' element linking "-ell" to "verm-").
"Vermicelli", means, literally, "little worms", and is so-called because of the worm-like shape of the pasta.
"Vermicelli" seems to have been a perfectly normal way of saying "little worms" in Italian for several centuries, and the first recorded instance of the word in the sense of foodstuff dates from the mid seventeenth century (nowadays, a more common modern Italian diminutive of "worm" is "vermiciattolo").
