توتياء

Arabic

Alternative forms

تُوتِيَا (tūtiyā), تُوتِيَة (tūtiya)

Etymology

From Persian (tutiyâ, “zinc oxide”), from Sanskrit तुत्था (tuttha), although this last actually means “copper sulphate“. Alternatively it is from a variant of (dud, “smoke”), in the pattern of مُومِيَاء (mūmiyāʔ) and بَامِيَا (bāmiyā) and like دُخَان (duḵān, “smoke”).
