解説 Definition

Arab describes a person, culture, society, or region connected with the Arabic-speaking peoples of the Middle East and North Africa. The word is normally capitalized in standard English.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
実際の英語では Arab と大文字で書き、Arab culture、the Arab world、Arab people のように、アラブ人・文化・地域を示す語の前で使う形を覚えましょう。Arabic は主に「アラビア語」または言語・文字に関する形容詞、Arabian はアラビア半島や Arabian Sea など地理的名称に多い、という違いも重要です。
Although the headword appears here in lowercase, standard English normally writes Arab with a capital A. Learn it through common combinations such as Arab culture, the Arab world, and Arab people. These expressions connect the word with Arabic-speaking peoples and their cultures across the Middle East and North Africa. Keep it distinct from Arabic, which most often refers to the Arabic language or its script, and Arabian, which is especially common in geographical names and references to the Arabian Peninsula, such as the Arabian Sea and the Arabian Desert.

arab の語源・成り立ち Etymology
セム語派のアラビア語 ʿarab に由来し、「砂漠の遊牧民」や「荒野の民」を意味する。ヘブライ語の ʿarav（荒野・ステップ）と同根とされ、乾燥した土地に暮らす人々を指した。関連語: Arabic, Arabia。
Arab came into English through Latin and Greek forms ultimately based on Arabic ʿarab, a name for Arab peoples. The word has long been associated with the peoples of Arabia and, more broadly, Arabic-speaking communities. Claims about an original literal meaning such as “desert dweller” are not fully certain, so the safest historical connection is to the established ethnic name in Arabic. In modern English, Arab is normally capitalized.
