köken: Inherited from Old Galician-Portuguese querubin (“cherub”), from Latin cherūbīm, from Ancient Greek χερουβίν (kheroubín), from Biblical Hebrew כרֻבִים (keruvím), plural indefinite form of כְּרוּב (kerúv), from a Proto-Semitic source.
Borrowed from Old Church Slavonic херовимъ (xerovimŭ)), from Ancient Greek χερουβίμ (kheroubím), ultimately from Hebrew כְּרוּבִים (k'ruvím), plural of כְּרוּב (k'rúv).
