غردق
Arabic
Alternative forms
- غَرْقَد (ḡarqad)
Etymology
Uncertain; while both forms are now about equally distributed, غَرْقَد (ḡarqad) is probably more original, and it may be a blend of غَرِقَ (ḡariqa, “to dive in”) + رَقَدَ (raqada, “to recline”) due to the plant serving the feral animals for recess.
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /ɣar.daq/
Noun
غَرْدَق • (ḡardaq) m (collective, singulative غَرْدَقَة f (ḡardaqa))
