Arabic

Etymology

Cognate with Classical Syriac ܓܽܘܪܒܳܐ (gurbā), Hebrew גֶּרֶב (géreḇ) and Central Kurdish گۆروا (gorwa), گۆرە (gore); of disputed etymology due to unknown direction of borrowings:

  • Possibly Persian جوراب (jôrâb, sock, stocking), with earlier forms Persian گورب (gôrab), گوراب (gôrâb), speculatively a metathesis of Middle Persian *gōrb/pāy (literally grave of foot) which has potential to be folk etymology.
  • Alternatively the Iranian was borrowed from Aramaic גְּרָב / גְּרַב (gəraḇ, gərāḇ, skin bottle or pouch), with it being unknown which language family the new specified semantic meaning as a sock developed first.
