زغلول

/zuɣ.luːl/

Where it comes from

Reduplication of زَغَلَ (zaḡala, “to spurt forth; to overpower and suck (said of a beast’s child)”) in the adjective sense, whereas in the “squab” sense probably reinterpreted from Classical Syriac ܙܘܓܠܐ (zawgalā, zūḡalā, “young bird (especially of a dove)”), itself metathesized from the form valid in Palestinian Syriac ܓܘܙܠܐ (gVzalā, “young bird (especially of a dove)”) which passed as جَوْزَل (jawzal).
