Arabic

Etymology 1

From the root ل ح م (l-ḥ-m), from Proto-Semitic *laḥm- (food, eatables; meat, bread), from Proto-Afroasiatic *laḥam- (food). Cognate with Aramaic לַחְמָא (laḥmā), Classical Syriac ܠܚܡܐ (laḥmā), Hebrew לֶחֶם (léḥem), Ugaritic 𐎍𐎈𐎎 (lḥm /⁠laḥmu⁠/), all meaning “food” or “bread”. The varying semantic developments are due to the differing agriculture and diets of the Arabian Peninsula and the Fertile Crescent.
