محبت

From Classical Persian محبت (muhaḇḇat), from Arabic مَحَبَّة (maḥabba, “love”).

1. chat, friendly conversation
2. love, affection
3. friendship

Borrowed from Arabic مَحَبَّة (maḥabba, “love”). The predominant shift of the first vowel from /a/ to /u/ is due to analogy with the large number of Arabic participles with initial /mu/ such as مهندس (muhandis, mohandes, “engineer”), محاربه (muhāraba, mohârabe, “war”) etc.
