Where this word comes from

Ultimately from Ancient Greek Ἑβραϊκός (Hebraïkós, “Hebrew”), perhaps via or patterned after Latin hebraicus (“Hebrew, Hebraic”). The Ancient Greek adjective is from Ancient Greek Ἑβραῖος (Hebraîos, “Hebrew, Jew”), ultimately from Biblical Hebrew עִבְרִי (ʿiḇrî, “Hebrew”). Displaced ebreisk, the older inherited form continuing Old Norse ebreskr (“Hebrew, Hebraic”). The noun is a substantivization of the adjective. Compare Norwegian Nynorsk hebraisk, Danish hebraisk, Swedish hebreisk and English Hebraic.
