「オアシス」という言葉の起源は西部砂漠にあります
The term “oasis” has its roots in ancient Egyptian, signifying a place of respite. It refers to a dispersed region of farmland situated in the desert, nourished by water from springs that burst forth from beneath the earth’s surface. In Greek, it was referred to as “Odous,” while in Coptic, it was articulated as “Wahah” or “Wah.”
