Origin: Partly a borrowing from French. Partly a borrowing from Arabic. Etymons: French moucharaby, moucharabieh; Arabic mašrabiyya.
Etymology: Originally < French moucharaby window projecting outside, closed with a wooden mesh (1846), moucharabieh (1854; 1828 as †moucharabiéh ; 1840 as †musharabyeh ; 1847 as †moucharabié ; 1843 as moucharabi in sense ‘balcony with a parapet’: see note below); subsequently reborrowed < its etymon Arabic mašrabiyya < mašraba (colloquial pronunciation of mišraba small jug or pitcher < šariba to drink) + -iyya , suffix (see mudirieh n.). The balcony was so called because porous jugs were placed there for the purpose of cooling the water by evaporation. N.E.D. (1908) enters this under moucharaby and gives the pronunciation as (muʃa·răbi) /muːˈʃærəbɪ/. The extended use in sense 1 appears to have been originated by P. Mérimée & A. Lenoir in Archit. Mil. au Moyen-Age (1843) 34: ‘Nous avons donné le nom de moucharabi à ces balcons munis d'un parapet qui paraissent empruntés à l'Orient.’
