رمضان

Arabic

Etymology

The month was a summer month in pre-Islamic times before the Quranic prohibition against leap months (Quran 9:37). Hence without doubt from the root ر م ض‎ (r m ḍ, “scorching heat”), and related to رَمَض‎ (ramaḍ, “parchedness, scorchedness”) and رَمْضَاء‎ (ramḍāʔ, “sun-baked ground”). Compare also اِرْتَمَضَ‎ (irtamaḍa, “to be consumed by grief and sorrow”).
