[edit]Etymology
[edit]Uncertain, associated as a natively coined term, developing into the roots ر ط ي (r-ṭ-y) and ء ر ط (ʔ-r-ṭ), dealing with topics of its color and ability to grow in the most inhospitable ground, providing shelter and edible fruit. Potential distant connections to Akkadian 𒌑𒌨𒂅𒌋 (U2ur-ṭu-u /urṭû/, “a plant like a tamarisk but red; a dye”), also used as a dye for hides and compared to a tamarisk in Arabic culture.
