单词 mashrabiyya
释义

mashrabiyya

/məʃrəˈbɪə/
noun
In North Africa: a balcony enclosed with latticework on the outer wall of a building. Also: latticework characteristic of such a balcony.

Origin

Mid 19th century (in an earlier sense). Originally from French moucharaby window projecting outside, closed with a wooden mesh, moucharabieh; subsequently reborrowed from its etymon Arabic mašrabiyya from mašraba (colloquial pronunciation of mišraba small jug or pitcher from šariba to drink) + -iyya, suffix. The balcony was so called because porous jugs were placed there for the purpose of cooling the water by evaporation.
