پردیس · فِرْدَوْس — paradise; garden

Persian → ArabicProbablenoun · Belief · common

This one went the other way: from Persian into Arabic.

Arabic

فِرْدَوْس
firdaws

/firdaws/

In Arabic

paradise; garden

Persian

پردیس
pardis

/pærdis/

In Persian

paradise; garden

Note. Old Iranian pairidaēza 'walled garden' is the source, but it probably reached Arabic through Aramaic or Greek rather than directly. Persian today uses pardis for 'campus' and also says ferdows.

Spelling. Arabic writes p as f (pardis → firdaws).
