How the two words are related

Loanword

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

Hebrew תות and Arabic tūt are twins from a shared journey rather than a native Semitic root — both reached their languages via Aramaic from an old Persian word for the mulberry, later widened in both to cover the strawberry too (תות שדה, 'field tūt').
