فلاح
Arabic
Etymology
Assumed to be borrowed from Aramaic פלחא / ܦܠܚܐ (pallāḥā, “worker; peasant”), owing to the dominant economy of Arabic speakers being nomadic when in contrast Aramaic speakers practised agriculture. This assumed, فَلَحَ (falaḥa, “to furrow, to plough; to slit, to cleave”) – which isn’t a common word – would be denominal.
Pronunciation
