See also: مسیح
Arabic
Etymology
From the root م س ح (m s ḥ), related to مَسَحَ (masaḥa, “to anoint”). Cognate to Aramaic ܡܫܺܝܚܳܐ (m'šīḥāʿ) and Hebrew מָשִׁיחַ (mashíakh), whence the Ancient Greek borrowing Μεσσίας (Messías) and the Greek calque Χριστός (Christós), thus the English terms "Messiah" and "Christ".
