etymology
In the continental MSA, cf. Mhr. ẑəb ‘to become a little warm’, Jib. ẓ̂eb id. As far as Arabic is concerned, the readiest parallel from the semantic point is the variant root ḍby ‘to roast, to fry, to broil’. From the geminate root, cf. perhaps ḍabb- ‘anger, wrath, vecement rancor’, with a feasible meaning shift from “burning, heat”.
