Khayal is a singing style. From which language did the word ‘khayal’ come from?

  • A.Urdu
  • B.Arabic
  • C.Sanskrit
  • D.Hindi

Answer: B

The word khayal comes from Arabic. It is the Arabic word khayal, meaning thought, imagination or fancy, which passed through Persian into Urdu and Hindi. The singing style takes its name from it because the style stresses imagination and the singer's freedom to elaborate.

Urdu and Hindi are languages in which the word is used, but they took it from Persian and Arabic. Sanskrit has other words for imagination and does not give this word. The origin of the word is Arabic, which matches the key.
