Aramaism

An Aramaism, less commonly referred to as an Arameanism, an Aramaicism or an Aramism, is a word, expression, phrase, or linguistic feature that originates from Aramaic (one of the Northwest Semitic languages) and appears in another language (particularly Hebrew or Arabic) as a result of historical contact. Aramaisms are a subset of Semitisms, a broader category encompassing elements borrowed from any Semitic language.
