بارود
Arabic
Etymology
Uncertain. Not a Classical Arabic word. Possible etymologies:
- From بَرُود (barūd, “a soothing collyrium (كُحْل (kuḥl)) used against inflammation of the eye; any powdery collyrium”), following common colloquial alteration between a and ā in words of the form CaCūC.
- Via Aramaic from Armenian վառօդ (vaṙōd, “gunpowder”), composed of վառ (vaṙ, “burning”) + օդ (ōd, “air”). However, Ačaṙyan regards this as a folk-etymology reshaping of բարութ (barutʿ), which was ultimately borrowed from this very Arabic term.
