How the two words are related
New word
No Hebrew relative — learn it fresh.
Arabic root
ل-ع-بNo Hebrew relative — Hebrew's own root for play, ש-ח-ק, has nothing to do with Arabic ل-ع-ب. But you've already met this root: لُعْبَة 'toy, game' is built the same way — ملعب is quite simply 'the place of playing'.
