How the two words are related

Loanword

Borrowed between the languages (or by both from a third).

Modern Hebrew תאריך is a straight loan from Arabic تاريخ, taken in during the 19th–20th-century revival of Hebrew, which had no single native word for a calendar date. This is one of the rare entries in this app where the borrowing runs from Arabic into Hebrew rather than the other way around.
