طابع

Arabic

Etymology 1

From Aramaic טַבְעָא / ܛܲܒܼܥܵܐ (ṭaḇəʿā, stamp, seal, die, thing made sink), from Akkadian 𒋰 (/ṭepû, ṭapû/, to attach, to append, to imprint or impress said of seals), from Akkadian 𒁾 (/ṭuppu/, tablet, inscription, impressed markings in clay or other materials), ultimately from Sumerian 𒁾 (dub). The root ط ب ع (ṭ-b-ʿ) “related to imprinting” is derived from this borrowing; compare Arabic خَاتَم (ḵātam) representing a potential Egyptian equivalent. For more on the foreign pattern فَاعَل (fāʿal) see عَالَم (ʿālam).
