artab (feminine singular ratba, plural rotob)

ratba (feminine singular)

tagħrib

Probably inherited from Arabic تَعْرِيب (taʕrīb), though it might have been re-formed independently at some point; compare how Arabic itself freely builds تَتْرِيك (tatrīk, “turkification”), تَرْوِيس (tarwīs, “russification”), etc. The use in linguistics is a recent semantic loan from Arabic. Otherwise, derived verbal noun of għarrab.

(especially linguistics) the adaptation of a loanword to the phonetic and morphologic system of Arabic or one of its descendants such as Maltese.
