Maltese
Etymology
From Arabic ?????? (furn), from Aramaic ?????? / ?????? (p?rn?), from Ancient Greek ??????? (phoûrnos), from Latin furnus. There is no reason to doubt the inheritance of the word in Maltese and consider it a borrowing from an Italo-Romance cognate such as Italian forno. The Arabic word is attested early, the outcome forn is expected in Maltese, and so is the plural fran from Arabic ???????? (?afr?n). Only the derivative furnar (“baker”) is, of course, a borrowing (widely replacing native ?abbie?).
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /f?rn/
Noun
forn m (plural fran)
- oven
