أنتريك

اللهجة الشامية الشمالية

أَنْتْرِيك (noun)

Etymology: Borrowed from Tunisian Arabic أَمْبَتْرِيك (ʔambatrīk) or a form akin to it, itself from French lampe électrique (“flashlight, electric torch”, literally “electric lamp”). After initially entering North African Arabic, the word spread eastward to Levantine Arabic أَنْتْرِيك (ʔantrīk) and farther to Najdi Arabic ترِيك, ترِيچ (trīk, trīč).
The Tunisian form, in turn, was presumably reduced from *أَمْبَكْتْرِيك (*ʔambaktrīk), which possibly reflects an older form like *أَمْبْ أَكْتْرِيك (*ʔamb ʔaktrīk). This would be a rebracketing of lampe électrique based on reanalyzing each /l/ as an Arabic definite article: *الأمب الأكتريك (*l-amb el-aktrīk).
The Nokia sense developed in reference to older Nokia models with an attached flashlight.
Not derived from French un truc (“a thing”), despite popular folk etymology.

Meaning: flashlight, electric torch; a Nokia
