Etymology

The word comes from the triliteral root ن-ب-ذ (n-b-dh), which means to throw, cast, or discard. Nabidh follows the faʿil pattern with a passive sense, so it names the thing thrown. The drink was made by casting dates or raisins into water and leaving them to ferment, and the name records that act of throwing.
