The opening as it read in 2015

Look up عزيز in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.1 Aziz ( , ʿazīz , ) was originally a Northwest Semitic Syriac / Hebrew / Assyrian Neo-Aramaic word, but is now much more commonly (but not exclusively) known as a Central Semitic Arabic male name. Aziz in Arabic is derived from the root ʕ-z-z with a meaning of "strong, powerful". It is a cognate of Hebrew oz meaning "might, strength, power". The Semitic word refers to the "power and glory" of deities and kings. Al-Aziz is one of the names of God in Islam , and the word is also used in reference to the "king of Egypt" (pharaoh) in the quranic Surah-e-Yusuf . But, due to the Persian word of identical pronunciation, the adjective has acquired its meaning of "dear, darling, precious".2 It is used in Persian and existing Semitic Languages such as Arabic , Assyrian Neo Aramaic , Mandic and Hebrew .3 Aziz is a common masculine given name, especially in the Muslim world but it has also continued to be used since Pre Islamic and Pre-Arab times by indigenous non-Muslim peoples in the Middle East, e.g.4 Assyrians , Jews / Israelites the Maronite s, and Mandeans .5 The feminine form of both the adjective and the given name is Aziza .6
