مشبك

See also: مسبك

Arabic

Etymology

From شَبَكَة (šabaka, “net, grid”) within the root ش ب ك (š b k).

The interpretation of the pastry as a kind of latticework,^[1] though it have a griddy structure, is doubtful, since it would only work as a calque of half of the term in Indo-Aryan where there are words for “net” such as Hindi जाल (jāl), जाली (jālī), Marathi जाळें (jāḷẽ), Punjabi جال (jāl). It may be instead from شَوْبَك (šawbak, “rolling pin”).

Noun

مِشْبَك • (mišbak) m (plural مَشَابِك (mašābik))

clip, clamp, peg, brooch etc.
synapse
