ܐܣܛܪܛܐ

Assyrian Neo-Aramaic

Etymology

From Learned borrowing from Classical Syriac, from Latin strāta; reinforced in its modern sense of “highway/freeway” as an allusion to French autostrade, Arabic أَوْتُوسْتْرَاد (ʔawtūstrād) and Hebrew אוֹטוֹסְטְרָדָ‬ה (otostrada); compare also borrowed into Arabic صِرَاط (ṣirāṭ, “path, way, road”).

Usage notes
