Taliban

In Arabic class yesterday, we learnt the word for “student”. It is:

طالِب
talib

Someone asked if this was related to the word “taliban”. Our teacher thought for a moment, then told us that yes, “taliban” is a Pashtun derivative, meaning two male students.

Taliban

Not in a gay way, of course.
