"طفيل" meaning in Arabic

See طفيل in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Etymology: Diminutive of طِفْل (ṭifl, “little child”), though in the sense of “parasite” perhaps a backformation from the commoner adjective طُفَيْلِيّ (ṭufayliyy). Ancient Arabic lexicographers explained this sense as being derived from the name of a certain man called Ṭufayl, who, among the ancient Arabs, used to gatecrash feasts. However, a derivation directly from the diminutive sense might also make sense. Hebrew טַפִּיל (tapil, “parasite”) is a 19th-century invention based on the Arabic word.
