Baphometとは 意味・読み方・使い方

語源

From Medieval Latin Baphometh, deriving from Occitan Bafometz. Ostensibly a corruption of Andalusian Arabic مَحُمَّدْ (“Maḥummad”), ultimately deriving from Arabic مُحَمَّد (muḥammad) (compare Old Catalan Mafumet and Old Galician-Portuguese Mafomat), which would make it a doublet of mammet and Muhammad. Other sources have been suggested.

発音
