دالية

/daː.li.ja/

Where it comes from

From دَلْو (dalw, “bucket”) or related دَلَا (dalā, “to suspend, to let down in the water”) in the sense of a waterwheel; in all other senses presumed semantic loan from Aramaic דָלִיתָא / ܕܳܠܻܝܬ݂ܳܐ (dālīṯā, “vine; varicose vein”), although the sense of the deltoid muscle appears to be an Arabic figurative development from the idea of an espalier, which disregarded the more traditional medical sense.
