شرموطة

Arabic

Alternative forms

شَرْطُوطَة‎ (šarṭūṭa)

Etymology

From شَرْمَطَ‎ (šarmaṭa, “to shred”). Most Semitists agree that it is of non-Semitic origin; perhaps from Middle Persian [Book Pahlavi needed] (clm /čarm/, “a piece of skin, hide, or leather”) (see Persian ‎ (čarm)), perhaps conflated with Middle Persian [Book Pahlavi needed] (šlm /šarm/, “shame”). Compare Hebrew סְמַרְטוּט‎ (s'martút, “rag”), Aramaic מַרְטוּטָא‎ (marṭūṭā), סְמַרְטוּטָא‎ (səmarṭūṭā, “coarse garment”).
