طاعون

Etymology
Of the root. The pattern suggests a borrowing from from, related to 🇨🇬, though the Syriac is not known to mean a disease but “carrier”. The semantic evolution would either be via “to carry as a burden, to endure“ with the ailment understood as hardship, or via “transport” developing the meaning of transmission, the plague being transmitted quickly by vectors. Compare also the other Arabic name of the disease, from another Semitic language.
