Ba'ath - Weblio 英和・和英辞典 (original) (raw)

語源

From Arabic _بَعْث_‎ (baʿṯ, “resurrection”), part of the party's official name, _حِزْب البَعْث العَرَبِيّ الاِشْتِرَاكِيّ_‎ (ḥizb al-baʿṯ al-ʿarabiyy al-ištirākiyy, literally “the party of the Arab socialist resurrection”). The sequence ــَعْـ (aʿ) is often rendered as ⟨aa⟩ in English; compare Baalbek for _بَعْلَبَكّ_‎ (baʿlabakk), the Kaaba for _الكَعْبَة_‎ (al-kaʿba), Saad (name) for _سَعْد_‎ (saʿd), or zaatar for _زَعْتَر_‎ (zaʿtar).
