ziraleetn.

Brit.

/ˈzɪrəliːt/, U.S.

/ˈzɪrəˌlit/

Origin: A borrowing from Arabic. Etymons: Arabic zaġālīṭ, zaġlīṭa.

Etymology: < spoken Arabic (e.g. Syria, Palestine, Egypt) zaġālīṭ, plural of zaġlīṭa, variant of literary Arabic zaġrāda ululation. Compare Arabic (spoken) zaġlaṭa, (literary) zaġrada (of women) to ululate.The underlying four-consonant Arabic root shows much regional variation between r and l, d and t, and the emphatic counterpart ṭ of the latter.

Now rare.

Chiefly with reference to Muslim countries: a trilling, joyful chant sung by a woman or group of women. Also in extended use.
