While it has been theoretized to have been acquired in Semitic via Egyptianbddw-kꜣ(“watermelon”) from sub-Saharan Africa, there is an explanation as an Iranian borrowing equivalent to Persianبیدخت(bêdoxt, “Venus”), which is the known Akkadian𒂗(bēlu, “master; Bel, Baal”) + Persian دخت(doxt, “daughter”), literally “daughter of Baal”; compare Arabicبَطِّيخ(baṭṭīḵ) and Hebrewאֲבַטִּיחַ(avatíakh).
