فردوس

See also: الفردوس

Arabic

Etymology

An Iranian borrowing, ultimately from Proto-Iranian *paridayjah. According to Eilers, an Iranian form *parādēs, which resembles the very common broken plural pattern فَعَالِيق (faʕālīq), was perhaps borrowed as a plural فَرَادِيس (farādīs) and the singular فِرْدَوْس (firdaws) created as a back-formation from it.

Noun

فِرْدَوْس • (firdaws) m or f (plural فَرَادِيس (farādīs))

1. garden, Elysium, Eden, heaven, Heaven, paradise
