How the two words are related
Loanword
Borrowed between the languages (or by both from a third).
Hebrew פרדס and Arabic firdaws both borrowed the very same word — from Old Persian pairidaēza via Greek parádeisos, the source of English 'paradise' too. Everyday Levantine speech reaches for bustān or jnēne for a plain orchard; firdaws keeps its loftier, almost Quranic ring.
