Arabic[edit]

Etymology[edit]

From the root ص و م (ṣ-w-m). Compare Hebrew צָם (ṣām) and Ge'ez ጾመ (ṣomä, to fast). Nöldeke was convinced that the meaning “to fast” is a semantic loan from Aramaic צום / ܨܳܡ (ṣām, to fast), referring to the meaning “to stand still”, Jeffery says that the Arabic verb is “obviously denominative from صَوْم (ṣawm)” and notes that the term is only used in late Qurʾānic passages.

Verb[edit]

صَامَ (ṣāma) I, non-past يَصُومُ‎ (yaṣūmu)

  1. (obsolete) to stand still, to become calm
  2. to fast (to abstain, usually from food and drink)
