Tarikh
Tarikh (
The word taʾrīkh is not of Arabic origin and this was recognized by Arabic philologists already in the
The word first appears in the titles of certain 8th-century works and by the 9th century it was the standard word of the genre of these works. The word akhbār, "reports, narratives", is a synonym and was also used in the titles of works. It may even be an older word than taʾrīkh. The word taʾrīkh was never universal in the titles of works of history, which were just as often identified by subject matter (i.e., biography, conquests, etc.) as by genre. As its etymology implies, taʾrīkh originally described only a strictly chronological account, but it soon came to refer to any kind of history (e.g. historical dictionaries).[1]
