Word origin

Probably together with Ge'ez ሕዝብ (ḥəzb, “people, nation”) borrowed from Old South Arabian 𐩢𐩸𐩨 (ḥzb, “troop”), originating there with assimilated voicedness from the verb cognate to حَسَبَ (ḥasaba, “to enumerate, to reckon”) in the understanding of “an enumeration (of men), a collective, a troop”.
