Arabic[edit]

Etymology[edit]

From شَبَكَة (šabaka, net, grid) within the root ش ب ك (š-b-k).

The interpretation of the pastry as a kind of latticework,[1] though it have a griddy structure, is doubtful, since it would only work as a calque of half of the term in Indo-Aryan where there are words for “net” such as Hindi जाल (jāl), जाली (jālī), Marathi जाळें (jāḷẽ), Punjabi جال (jāl). It may be instead from شَوْبَك (šawbak, rolling pin).

Noun[edit]

مِشْبَك (mišbakm (plural مَشَابِك (mašābik))

  1. clip, clamp, peg, brooch etc.
  2. synapse
