单词 hashemite
释义

Hashemiten.adj.

Brit. /ˈhaʃᵻmʌɪt/, U.S. /ˈhæʃəˌmaɪt/
Forms: 1600s– Hashemite, 1800s– Hashimite.
Origin: From a proper name, combined with an English element; modelled on an Arabic lexical item. Etymons: proper name Hashem , -ite suffix1.
Etymology: < Hashem (now usually Hashim; Arabic Hāšim), a nickname given to ibn ʿAbd Manaf (late 5th cent.), great-grandfather of the Prophet Muhammad + -ite suffix1, after Arabic hāšimī.Muslim tradition offers several explanations of how Hashim acquired his nickname, but the most frequent account connects his name with Arabic hašama ‘to crumble’. Hashim was in charge of organizing the food and water supplies for the pilgrims to Mecca, and it is said that one year, when food was scarce in Mecca, he brought baked cakes from Syria and crumbled them into water to make a broth for the pilgrims. The adjective Hashemite forms part of the official name of Jordan, The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan (Arabic al-mamlaka al-'urdunniyya al-hāšimīyya).
A. n.
A member of a princely Arabian family claiming descent from Hashim, great-grandfather of the prophet Muhammad.The Hashemites ruled Mecca for most of the second millennium (until 1924). Since 1921 they have been the ruling royal family of Jordan (see note in etymology), and have also during various periods ruled Syria, Hejaz, and Iraq.
