pin; safety pin – WehrCowan1979. 
While DRS neither lists any cognates nor gives etymological hints, Youssef2003 thinks the word is from Eg tbs (Copt tōbs) ‘to prick’; in contrast, Rolland2014 derives it, though not without hesitation, from Pers dabūs ‘club, cudgel, manslayer’.

▪ DRS 3 (1993) lists the item, but does not list any Sem cognates, nor quote any reference literature.
▪ Youssef2003: from Eg tbs, Copt tōbs ‘to prick’
▪ Rolland2014: from Pers dabūs ‘club, cudgel, manslayer’. »L’évolution sémantique de l’arabe reste à éclaircir. Il est possible que, dans son sens moderne, dabbūs soit l’ellipse de ʔibraẗ dabbūs ‘aiguille de masse d’arme’.«
