The adaptation of the terms ‘laicism’, ‘secularism’ and ‘laïcité’ in Arabic

| University of Leuven/Cadi Ayyad University Marrakech

This article intends to study the adaptation of the terms laicism, secularism and laïcité in Arabic and the rendering of these three western terms into a single Arabic term: calmāniyyah. The paper intends also to trace the etymology of calmāniyyah first through a scrutiny of its original concepts and significations in western languages, and then describe its incorporation into Arabic, its development and the development of its significations in this language.

Keywords: secularization, laicization, Arab World, Muslim World, Syrian Christians., laicism, secularism, laïcité, profanity
