Arabic vocabulary
تَغَابُنٌ is how you say “mutual delusion” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
لَعُمْرُكَ مَا شَيْءٌ يَفُوْتُكَ نَيْلُهُ بِغَبْنٍ وَلَكِنَّ فِي الْعُقُولِ التَّغَابُنُ
By your life, nothing you fail to obtain is lost through injustice; rather, minds are mutually deluded.
التغابن — mutual delusion. This noun is the delayed subject of the adversative clause, in the nominative as what exists; its al- makes it definite. It is built on a reciprocal pattern, naming a mutual short-changing among minds. So the line lands on a shared, two-way cognitive loss as the real one.
