Etimologija (Anglų k.)
Borrowed from Aramaic עַרְסָא / ܥܲܪܣܵܐ (ʕarsā, “bed, litter, luxurious couch etc.”), originally referring to the ceremonial presentation of a bride to her husband for marriage to be consumed. Doublet of عَرْش (ʕarš, “throne”), regular cognate to the Aramaic since Proto-Semitic s₂ gives Arabic š and Aramaic s. The vocalism of the present word, if not merely being owed to the reduced ă of the ḥaṭaf pataḥ in the absolute state, needs to represent an unattested dialectal Aramaic form, like Old Armenian կուղբ (kułb, “beaver”) is from ܟܲܠܒܵܐ (kalbā, “dog”)
