Etimoloxía (Inglés)

From the root ط ل ح (ṭ l ḥ) originally meaning “to be successful or contented” as it was a fruit tree that camels overindulge eating; negative associations from the root stem from the negative effects of overeating. Applied in a general way to all flourishing fruit-bearing trees, especially the eating of which is enjoyed. Often times glossed as Musa (“banana tree”) in its Qurʾānic occurrence, though such an understanding is considered unlikely there; for more see Banana, their existence in Arabia at the eve of Islam and the possible connection of South Arabian trade routes as a potential source of the fruits' introduction to the African continent.
