جورب
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.
