      Etymology

      [edit]

        Ultimately from Arabic مُسْلِم (muslim), probably a corrupted borrowing of the Arabic plural مُسْلِمُون (muslimūn).

        This is one of a number of very early oral borrowings from Arabic, dating to the earliest years of Islamic rule, that underwent irregular phonetic shifts. Others include میر (mir, prince) from أَمِير (ʔamīr) and now archaic Classical Persian مزگت (mazgit, mosque) from مَسْجِد (masjid).

            To whom I would talk, should I have a problem.
