Etymology 2.1

From Proto-Semitic *malk-. The insertion of the vowel i is irregular, leading, though it could be a prop vowel as in إِبِل (ʔibil), to the suggestion that it is instead borrowed from an archaic Aramaic predecessor to Aramaic מַלְכָּא (malkā, “king”), along with the clear borrowing مَلَكُوت (malakūt).

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /ma.lik/

Noun

مَلِك • (malik) m (plural مُلُوك (mulūk) or أَمْلَاك (ʔamlāk), feminine مَلِكَة (malika))

  1. king, sovereign, monarch
