فردوس

See also: الفردوس

Arabic

Etymology

An Iranian borrowing, ultimately from Proto-Iranian *paridayjah. According to Eilers, an Iranian form *parādēs, which resembles the very common broken plural pattern فَعَالِيق (faʕālīq), was perhaps borrowed as a plural فَرَادِيس (farādīs) and the singular فِرْدَوْس (firdaws) created as a back-formation from it.[1] However, the plural فَرَادِيس (farādīs) could have been borrowed from Ancient Greek παράδεισος (parádeisos) instead.

Noun

فِرْدَوْس • (firdaws) m or f (plural فَرَادِيس (farādīs))

  1. a group of gardens, Elysium, Eden, heaven, Heaven, paradise
    Synonyms: جَنَّة (janna), نَعِيم (naʕīm)
    Antonyms: سَعِير (saʕīr), لَظَىٰ (laẓā), النَّار (an-nār), جَهَنَّم (jahannam), جَحِيم (jaḥīm), حُطَمَة (ḥuṭama), سَقَر (saqar), هَاوِيَة (hāwiya)
