جلابية

Arabic

Etymology

Possibly from Coptic ⲕⲟⲗⲟⲃⲉⲁ (kolobea, “robe, dress”). The corresponding root ج ل ب‎ (j-l-b) is related to taking and carrying, thus it is hard to assume a derivation from it. But see also the root ج ل ب ب‎ (j-l-b-b) from which there is جِلْبَاب‎ (jilbāb, “robe”).

Noun

جَلَّابِيَّة • (gallābiyya) f (plural جَلَّابِيَّات‎ (gallābiyyāt) or جَلَالِيب‎ (galālīb))

(Egypt) galabia, djellaba (a loose, shirtlike garment commonly worn by Egyptian men)

The Quran, 33:59
يا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ قُل لِأَزواجِكَ وَبَناتِكَ وَنِساءِ المُؤمِنينَ يُدنينَ عَلَيهِنَّ مِن جَلابيبِهِنَّ ذٰلِكَ أَدنىٰ أَن يُعرَفنَ فَلا يُؤذَينَ وَكانَ اللَّهُ غَفورًا رَحيمًا
O prophet! Tell to your wives and daughters and the women of the believers to adjust their galabias. It is most fitting for them to know that (by doing that) they will not be harmed. And Allah is forgiving and merciful
