منبر

/min.bar/

Where it comes from

By form a tool noun from نَبَرَ (nabara, “to raise the voice, to shout”); however this derivation is too large a leap, thus it is borrowed from Ge'ez መንበር (mänbär, “seat”), regularly formed from ነበረ (näbärä, “to sit”) as Arabic مَجْلِس (majlis) from جَلَسَ (jalasa).

noun مِنْبَر · minbar · مَنَابِر · الْمِنْبَر

minbar, pulpit
platform

In English

pulpit raised platform in church
