Etymology 3
Borrowed from Aramaic עֲרוּבְתָּא (ʿărūḇtā, “eve; Friday”), referring originally to the eve of Sabbath, cognate with native Arabic غُرُوب (ḡurūb, “sundown”), and further Al-Jawālīqīy, in his book about Arabicized terminology, notes it to be in Nabataean the name of Athena, seemingly confusing with Aphrodite, so as with every Old Arabic weekday the name is conceived a god and planet, here Venus, harmonizing with Latin diēs Veneris. This is further confirmed by Ubayy ibn Kaʕb’s Qurʔān recension having يَوْمِ العَرُوبَةِ الْكُبْرَى (yawmi l-ʕarūbati l-kubrā) in 62:9, where الْكُبْرَى (al-kubrā) reflects Cypris, Cypria. The name of the seventh heaven عَرُوبَاء (ʕarūbāʔ) ~ عِرْبِيَاء (ʕirbiyāʔ) ~ عَرِيبَاء (ʕarībāʔ) thus must be interpreted as representing utmost love or climax, etymologically corresponding to this religious heyday of the week.
