From Proto-Semitic *ṭāb- (“good, pleasant”), with levelling to the typical Arabic adjective pattern CayyiC of hollow roots. Cognate with Akkadian 𒁕𒁍𒌝 (ṭābum) and Biblical Hebrew טוֹב‎ (ṭoḇ).

Adjective[edit]

      ُO Children of Israel! Eat from the good and wholesome things of what We have allotted to you, and do not transgress with it, so My wrath does not come down upon you. Whomever My wrath comes down upon has lapsed.
    • a. 967 CE, Abu Al-Faraj Al-Asfahani, Salah Al-Din Al-Munajjid, editor, Adab Al-Ghurabā’, first edition, Dār Al-Kitāb Al-Jadīd, published 1972, OCLC 4771078795, page 26–27:
