Arabic[edit]
Etymology[edit]
The pattern فَاعَل (fāʕal), which is further expounded at عَالَم (ʕālam), especially in variation with فَاعِل (fāʕil), makes the term liable to being deemed a borrowing from Aramaic. So probably a metathesis of the active participle of כמש / ܟܡܫ (kmaš, “to be wrinkled”), which else derives ܟܡܫܐ (kamšā, “grape”), ܟܡܫܘܢܐ (kamšōnē, “the dried skins of grapes, raisins”). The sequence مِش (miš) in unattested intermediate *كَامِش (*kāmiš) was probably inacceptable in Arabic.
