🍇🍯 From Arabic rubb, thickened fruit juice: boil fruit down until it robs the pot
Spanish rob comes from Arabic rubb, meaning juice boiled down to a thick syrup. English has the same old word, rob, for a fruit syrup. Here is a sound-alike hook: cooking a rob robs the fruit of its water until only sweet syrup is left.
