جبس

/d͡ʒibs/

Where it comes from

Late borrowing from Ancient Greek γύψος (gúpsos), likely via an Aramaic form exposing an arbitrary extension of Late Koine Greek style or origin as reflected in Classical Syriac ܓܘܦܣܝܢ (gupsīn), ܓܝܦܣܝܢ (gipsīn) and Jewish Palestinian Aramaic גבסין, גפסין. It is unknown whether the Greek term is ultimately related to جِصّ (jiṣṣ).
