Etymology

[edit]

From the root س ل خ (s-l-ḵ); a wanderwort with potential for a native Arabian Peninsula origin, Old South Arabian 𐩪𐩡𐩭𐩩 (s¹lḫt), Neo-Babylonian 𒋆𒃻𒇷𒄩𒌈 (/⁠šalīḫātu⁠/) (attested once as plural), Latin serichatum reported by Plin. nat. hist. XII 99. Classical Syriac ܡܫܠܚܬܐ (mǝšallaḥṯā) is apparently learnedly formed after Arabic, Classical Syriac ܣܠܝܟܗ (salīḵā) is only found in Bar Hebraeus and apparently a logogram of Arabic.
