Maltese

Alternative forms

Etymology

From Arabic رِزْق‎ (rizq, “livelihood, sustenance; divine provision”), from Middle Persian 𐭫𐭥𐭰𐭩𐭪‎ (rōzīg). The new standard spelling with -s- is due to the fact that the noun has no root in Maltese, in which case words are now spelt phonetically rather than etymologically.
