語源

From Latin Palaestīna (“Roman province of Palestine”), from Ancient Greek Παλαιστίνη (Palaistínē, “Philistia かつ the surrounding region”), from Hebrew פְּלֶשֶׁת‎ (p'léshet, “Philistia, land of the Philistines”),^[1][2] from the root פ־ל־ש‎ (p-l-š, “migrate, invade”).^[3] The term P-l-s-t or P-r-s-t, found in five Ancient Egyptian inscriptions (beginning with one at Medinet Habu from circa 1170 B.C.E. かつ ending with Padiiset's Statue inscription from circa 900-850 B.C.E.) as the name of a people near Egypt, is traditionally taken to be cognate.^[4][5] Seven Assyrian inscriptions contain the word "Palas(h)tu" or "Pilistu", which is usually also taken to be cognate.^[6][7]
