عجم
Arabic
Etymology
From the root ع ج م (ʿ-j-m). The word عَجَم (ʿajam, “non-Arabs”) is from a pre-Islamic form أَعْجَم (ʾaʿjam), from the root ع ج م (ʿ-j-m), referring to people who speak unclearly (thus reflecting the same semantic evolution as Ancient Greek βάρβαρος (bárbaros, “barbarian”)).
Noun
عَجَم • (ʿajam) m (collective, singulative عَجَمِيّ m (ʿajamiyy), plural أَعْجَام (ʾaʿjām))
- non-Arabs (as foreigners or barbarians)
- (historical) Persians.
- Synonym: فُرْس (furs)
Usage notes
- The affective value attributed to the word depends on the point of view of the user, and the historical period. For example, it had a markedly negative connotation during the Umayyad period, whereas it was often quite positive in the Abbasid period, when Iranians had much political and social influence.
