بهرج

Arabic edit

Etymology edit

From Middle Persian equalling Persian (bahra, “profit, advantage, fortune, happiness, prosperity”) and denominal verb, resulting from clipping of نَبَهْرَج (nabahraj, “phoney”); less likely augmented from ب ه ر (b-h-r) / بَهَرَ (bahara, “to allure; to shine; to illuminate”); perhaps a Persian stem and this Arabic root mutually interfered semantically in either language.

Pronunciation edit

IPA^(key): /bah.rad͡ʒ/

Verb edit

بَهْرَجَ • (bahraja) Iq, non-past يُبَهْرِجُ‎ (yubahriju)

to make showy, to display fortunate, to dress
to feign, to simulate, to sham
to deem showy, to view as false, to declare phony
