משורש מקראי א־ב־ב. מופיע במקרא פעמיים, רק בצורות נטויות. לגבי ניקוד צורת היחיד, אליעזר בן-יהודה טען שהניקוד "אֵב" אינו מוכרח, ויתכן שצורת היחיד היא "אַב" כיוון שגם צורה זו נחרקת בנטיות. מקביל לאוגריתית (אִב – פרי, ניצן, פרח, אבן חן), סורית (אֵבָּא – פרי), ארמית יהודית: אנבא (פרי, תוצרת), אכדית: 2501 (פרי), ערבית: أبُّ - צמחי מרעה בביצה או באחו. קרוב גם לאמהרית: አበባ – פרח. וראו גם אֵבֶה.
