Pronounced as (IPA)

/fal.laːħ/

Etymology

From the root ف ل ح (f l ḥ). The sense of "farmer" is assumed to be borrowed from Aramaic פלחא / ܦܠܚܐ (pallāḥā, “worker; peasant”), owing to the dominant economy of Arabic speakers being nomadic when in contrast Aramaic speakers practised agriculture. This assumed, فَلَحَ (falaḥa, “to furrow, to plow; to slit, to cleave”) would be denominal.
