د و س

Arabic

Etymology

Likely related to د ع س (d-ʕ-s) and د ه س (d-h-s), either derived from them with compensatory lengthening, or they are formed from this root by inserting radicals. On the other hand, there's also دَهَكَ (dahaka, “to crush, to trample”), but it's likely derived from supposedly unrelated دَكَّ (dakka) or دَقَّ (daqqa) with the same h-insertion.

The root د ر س (d-r-s) of دَرَسَ (darasa, “to thresh, to flail”) is also related, compare سَابَ (sāba, “to flow”) and سَرَبَ (saraba, “to leak”) for derivation pattern. The verbal nouns of دَرَسَ (darasa) even share the same models with those of دَاسَ (dāsa), and there are doublets like مِدرَس (“flail”) and مِدْوَس (midwas).

Compare Hebrew דָּשׁ (dash, “to thresh”), Hebrew דִּשְׁדֵּשׁ (dishdesh, “to tread, to trample”), Hebrew דַּיְסָה (daysah, “porridge”), Hebrew דָּרַס (daras, “to step on, to trample”).
