"باب" meaning in Arabic

See باب in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /baːb/ Audio: Ar-باب.ogg
Etymology: Usually considered a borrowing from Aramaic בָּבָא (bāḇā, “gate”), from Akkadian 𒆍 (bābum, “gate”), particularly since the Arabs, living in tents, did not need doors. However, Hans Bauer considers all of these words native, explaining the formation as an ancient univerbation of etyma equivalent to Arabic بَاءَ (bāʔa) بِ (bi) “he has entered into (the house)”.
