'کتاب' (ketāb) is derived from the Arabic word 'كتاب' (kitāb), which means 'book'. It has been integrated into Persian as part of its long history of cultural and intellectual exchange with Arabic.
'کتاب' is used in both formal and informal contexts to refer to books and literature, appearing frequently in both spoken language and written texts.
