"اللات" meaning in Arabic

See اللات in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

IPA: /al.laːt/
Etymology: Uncertain. Possible etymologies: * From the root ل ت ت (l-t-t), from which the verb لَتَّ (latta, “to mix, or knead, barley-meal”) is derived. This is the explanation given in Arab lexicographical tradition and supported by epigraphic evidence; compare Hismaic 𐪁𐪉 (lt). * A feminine form of اللّٰه (allāh) or الإلٰه (al-ʔilāh). This is supported by the form given by Herodotus, who identifies Ἀλιλᾱ́τ (Alilā́t) (which would correspond to *اَلْإِلَات (*alʔilāt)) with Aphrodite Urania, and is explained as having the same ending as some ossified vocative forms like أَخَات (ʔaḵāt) for أُخْت (ʔuḵt, “sister”). However, many gods and goddesses were referred to by the titles الإلٰه (al-ʔilāh) and الإِلٰهَة (al-ʔilāha), and so it is not certain that the goddess referenced by Herodotus is the same.
