Original Note:
"Palestine" is not Arabic in origin. It derives from "Peleshet", the Hebrew name for the land neighbouring ancient Judah. The name was adopted into Greek as "Philistinoi", then into Latin as "Philistinus", and then into Arabic as "Falasteen" and English as "Palestine". https://www.britannica.com/topic/Philistine-people https://www.britannica.com/place/Palestine https://www.etymonline.com/word/Palestine
