📜Etymology

In classical Arabic usage, the word ḥūr ( Arabic : حُور ) is the plural of both ʾaḥwar ( Arabic : أحْوَر ) (masculine) and ḥawrāʾ ( Arabic : حَوْراء ) (feminine) which can be translated as "having eyes with an intense contrast of white and black". The word "houri" entered several European languages in the 17th and 18th centuries. Arthur Jeffery and other scholars suggests an Iranian origin for the term, proposing the origins of the word to be the Middle Persian hū̆rust ' well grown ' .
