Arabic
Etymology
Either from the root ن ط ف (n-ṭ-f) related to dribbling, spilling, because of the manner cream is created, or an Aramaic borrowing, since soapwort has been used to make a foam sugared and used as a surrogate for egg white foam (meringue) or whipped cream,[1] and the Aramaic root cognate to ن ظ ف (n-ẓ-f) would be נ־ט־ף (n-ṭ-p̄) which however just means “to drip”, perhaps the source of the uncommon Arabic root. The Iberian turrón type of candy is claimed to be a material borrowing from Arabic practice.[2]
