מצרים

From a common Semitic source; compare Arabic مِصْر‎ (miṣr) and Ugaritic 𐎎𐎕𐎗𐎎 (mṣrm). The ending is the standard dual form, perhaps related to the ancient conceptualization of Egypt as two realms: Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt. Connections have also been drawn to מֶצֶר‎ (métser, “border, limit”) and מיצר \ מֵצַר‎ (meitsár, “sea strait”).
