Arabic

Etymology

Borrowed in an urban environment from Aramaic קִיטֹונָא (qīṭūnā) / ܩܱܝܛܘܿܢܳܐ (qayṭōnā, “bed chamber”), absolute state קִיטֹון (qīṭūn) / ܩܱܝܛܘܿܢ (qayṭōn), from Ancient Greek κοιτών (koitṓn). According to Behnstedt and Woidich a genuine formation قَطَن (qaṭan) from the root ق ط ن (q-ṭ-n) cannot be excluded to partake in some dialectal areas, whereas influence of French coton in the course of the French building their colonial empire, though the meaning be in some samples “European-style tent”, is unlikely because of tents of cotton existing before.
