How the two words are related
Loanword
Borrowed between the languages (or by both from a third).
The same Arabic word means both 'date' and 'history'. Modern Hebrew borrowed it as תאריך but kept only the calendar sense, and took 'history' from Greek instead — so an Arabic speaker's tārīkh lesson is a Hebrew speaker's היסטוריה.
