Etymology

From Ottoman Turkish تابوت (tabut), from Arabic تَابُوت (tābūt), from Classical Syriac ܬܝܒܘܬܐ (tēḇūṯā), ultimately from Egyptian DbA-t:pr ḏbꜣt (“sarcophagus, coffin”) or T-b-O39 ṯb (“chest, box”).
Compare Demotic tbyt (“sarcophagus, shrine, chest”), dbt, and tbt (“chest”) and Coptic ⲧⲁⲓⲃⲉ (taibe, “chest, coffin”).
