فردوس

See also: الفردوس‎

Arabic

Etymology

An Iranian borrowing, ultimately from Proto-Iranian *paridayjah. According to Eilers, an Iranian form *parādēs, which resembles the very common broken plural pattern فَعَالِيق (faʕālīq), was perhaps borrowed as a plural فَرَادِيس‎ (farādīs) and the singular فِرْدَوْس‎ (firdaws) created as a back-formation from it.[1] However, the plural فَرَادِيس‎ (farādīs) could have been borrowed from Ancient Greek παράδεισος (parádeisos) instead.

Noun
