Arabic[edit]

Etymology[edit]

Derived from the active participle of قَرِبَ‎ (qariba, ““to approach””), from the root ق ر ب‎ (q-r-b) meaning to “come near”, “to approach” or “to journey closer”.[1][2] Originally referring to a small boat used by a seaman as a convenient means to approach shore rather than bringing a larger vessel to port.[2]

Alternatively a loan from Latin carabus or Ancient Greek κάραβος (kárabos) – also found as Classical Syriac ܩܪܒܝܢ‎ – with an uncertain etymology related to beetles and crabs, perhaps originally Semitic; for more see caravel, عَقْرَب‎ (ʕaqrab) and its cognates.[3]

Pronunciation[edit]

  • IPA(key): /qaː.rib/
    • (Egyptian) IPA(key): /ʔaː.reb/
    • (Hijazi) IPA(key): /ɡaː.rib/
