How the two words are related
Shifted meaning
Same root as a Hebrew word, but the meaning drifted over the centuries.
Arabic root
ر-ب-وHebrew root
ר-ב-הMurabbī is 'one who raises', from rabbā, 'to bring up' — the verb behind tarbiya, 'education'. It shares a root with Hebrew ר-ב-ה, 'to grow, be many' (הרבה). Arabic's 'make grow' became 'raise a child'; Hebrew kept 'make many'.
