Etymology
طَبَخ comes from the Semitic root ط-ب-خ, a core triliteral root found across the Semitic language family with the general sense of preparing meat or food by heat. Classical Arabic dictionaries already list it with the same basic meaning it has today. The related noun طَبّاخ, 'cook,' and مَطبَخ, 'kitchen,' both derive from this same root.
