باروق

/baː.ruːq/

Where it comes from

Believed in the Middle Ages to be the native Arabic word in opposition to synonymous Persianate سِبِيدَاج (sibīdāj), but of an Aramaic shape, so probably from the same source word as بَرْوَق (barwaq, “asphodel”), more likely than akin to Persianate بَوْرَق (bawraq, “borax”).

noun بَارُوق · bārūq · الْبَارُوق · بَارُوقٌ

white lead, ceruse
Similar: سِبِيدَاج, بَيَاض

In English

white lead lead carbonate
