Etymology: Origin unclear; the irregular suffix and phonetics suggest a Pre-Greek, Ancient Macedonian, Semitic, or Slavic loan. Also see Latin scarabaeus, carabus, Armenian քարբ (kʻarb); Arabic عَقْرَب (ʕaqrab) and قَارِب (qārib), likely from the same substrate source. See also Proto-Slavic *korãbľь.
