Arabic

Etymology

    In the senses relating to "love", cognate with Hebrew חָבַב (ḥāḇaḇ), Aramaic חַבֵּב (ḥabbēḇ), & Punic 𐤇𐤁 (ḥb) "to love". See also Ancient Greek ἀγαπάω (agapáō) and Hebrew אָהַב (ʾaháḇ) and Ugaritic 𐎀𐎅𐎁 (ảhb, “to love”) which maybe have developed from a different root variant, maybe there connected to the cognate of Arabic ه ب ب (h-b-b).

    The "bulging" senses are likely related to "love" sense via the notion of "bosom", attested in some Semitic cognates such as Hebrew חֹב (ḥōḇ) and Aramaic חוּבָּא (ḥubbā) "bosom", and likely within Arabic itself as حَوْبَاء (ḥawbāʔ) "bosom", as well as figuratively حَوْبَاء (ḥawbāʔ) "soul; living person" and حَوْبَة (ḥawba) "maternal affection". Also related to Tigre ሐበ (ḥäbbä) "to wind oneself; to curve" via the notion of "curvature". See also potentially related roots ع ب ب (ʕ-b-b) and غ ب ب (ḡ-b-b), as well as rare ء ب ب (ʔ-b-b) as in أُبَاب (ʔubāb).

However that word is by attestation just a late variant of the Aramaic etymon of عُبّ (ʕubb, “breast-pocket”) and ideas of breast more likely did not exist for the present Arabic root.
