Where it comes from

Of uncertain etymology.

* According to Klein, possibly related to Arabic دَبَش (dabaš, “trinkets, furnishings, luggage?”) though the final ش (š) casts doubt.

* According to Strong, from the root ד־ב־שׁ (d-b-š) forming words relating to honey, thus (originally?) meaning beehive yet later coming to mean a hump due to visual similarities.
