From the root ع ن ب‎ (ʿ-n-b), from Proto-Semitic *ʿanbab- (“fruit, flower, shoot”), ultimately Proto-Afroasiatic *ʿanbab- (“plant, flower”). Akin to Arabic عُنَّاب‎ (ʿunnāb, “jujube”), Hebrew עֵנָב‎ (ʿēnāḇ, “grape”), Hebrew עֲנָבָה‎ (ʿănāḇā), Aramaic עֲנָבָא‎ (ʿănnāḇā, “stalk of grapes”), עִנְּבָא‎ (ʿinneḇā, “cluster of grapes”), עִנְבְּתָא‎ (ʿinbəṯā, “berry”), Classical Syriac ܥܷܢܒ݂݁ܳܬܐ‎ (ʿinbəṯā, “berry”), Ugaritic 𐎙𐎐𐎁 (ġnb, “grape(s)”), Sabaean 𐩲𐩬𐩨‎ (ʿnb, “vineyard”), Ge'ez ሕንባብ (ḥənbab), ሕባብ (ḥəbab, “grape; grain”), and thus حَبّ‎ (ḥabb, “seed”), and Akkadian 𒄧 (inbum, “fruit”) with its many derivatives.
