قرصان
Arabic
Etymology
Likely via Italian corsale (“corsair, privateer”)[1] from Medieval Latin cursārius (“pirate, sea-raider”), from Latin cursus (“course, a running; plunder, hostile inroad”)[2], with the Arabic + ـَان (-ān) suffix. Cognate with English corsair or German Korsar. With the derived terms قَرْصَنَ (qarṣana) and قَرْصَنَة (qarṣana) it forms a root ق ر ص ن (q-r-ṣ-n).
