Etymology

Likely a borrowing from (the broken plural of) a corresponding form II verbal noun formation of Old South Arabian 𐩥𐩧𐩭 (wrḫ /⁠warḫ⁠/, “month; date”) from Proto-Semitic *warḫ- (“moon; month”) not retained in Arabic. Less common أَرَّخَ (ʔarraḵa, “to date, to write the date”) and its verbal noun تَأْرِيخ (taʔrīḵ) were then formed secondarily.
