How the two words are related

Cognate

Same Semitic root, same meaning — you already know this word.

Arabic root

ش-ب-ك

Hebrew root

ש-ב-כ

The same root also gives شُبَّاك, 'window' (already in this app) — a latticed opening — but shabaka keeps the original sense: net, mesh, network. Biblical Hebrew שבכה is the bronze latticework on Solomon's Temple pillars (1 Kings 7:17); three thousand years later the identical root nets the World Wide Web.
