عفص

Etymology
Borrowed into Arabic from /, absolute state , itself treated as a later variant of  / , absolute state. The Arabic verbs are denominal, from the use of the idea of oakgalls being a powerful astringent, used in medicine and tanning. 🇨🇬 is metathetical to this denominal verb with its ideas of violence and after the inflation of an oakgall. Distantly related to the root which also exists in Aramaic.
