طيفور

Arabic
طيفور أندلسي
Alternative forms
- (tray): طَيْفُورِيَّة (ṭayfūriyya)
Etymology
From the root ط ف ر (ṭ-f-r) related to jumping, for the bird. The origin of the name for the tray is unknown. It could be explained that the ship-name طَيْفُورِيَّة (ṭayfūriyya) is derived from the bird-name as ships are commonly likened to birds and then from the ship-name comes via the idea of a vessel the tray-name طَيْفُورِيَّة (ṭayfūriyya), then the form طَيْفُور (ṭayfūr) in the sense of a tray must be back-formed from طَيْفُورِيَّة (ṭayfūriyya) since the non-nisba form is not known to have been used for the ship.
