Etymology

- An idiom characteristic of the Arabic language.
- 2011, David Bellos, Is That a Fish in Your Ear?, Penguin, published 2012, page 111:
- The translator, Joseph-Charles Mardrus, knew Arabic and he used some Arabic texts as the basis of his rewriting of the collection of ancient Eastern tales which he titled, in a daring Arabism in French, Les Mille Nuits et Une Nuit […]
- 1821, Moses Stuart, Hebrew Grammar with a Copious Syntax and a Praxis:
- Arabisms, properly speaking, occur only as it respects form, in a few words; and this, it is probable, is only the result of negligent transcription. The Arabic language never exercised any predominating influence over the Hebrew.
