Etymology 1

[edit]

The word "عقاب" (eagle) is the Arabicized form of the Persian word "اُغاب" (oghāb), which means "being at the peak." This word shares a common root with the Sanskrit word "کَپالَ" (kapāla). The word "قاب" derives from the Avestan root words "کهَرپ" (kahrpa) and "کرپتَ" (karpata). The root of the word "قاب", from which "عقاب" originates, can be traced back to ancient linguistic connections. Words such as "غاب", "غابلمه", and "پشغاب" are derived from Avestan and Sanskrit lexicons.

In Sanskrit:

"کَپالَ" (kapāla) means "bowl, cup, dish, or a circular vessel." "کَرپَرَ" (karpara) means "cup, pot, small pot, vessel, or bowl." "کوپی" (kūpi) means "bottle." It is worth noting that "کَپالَ," "کَرپَرَ," and "کوپی" all share a common linguistic root. In Latin, the related term "cuppa" and in English "cup" carry the meaning of "cup" or "small vessel." Refrence: Entries 403, 420, and 435 from the Sanskrit-Persian Dictionary by (Jalali Naeini).

  • This word appears to have a different etymology from the similar word meaning "Punishment".
