The Arabic word “Atyaf” (أطياف) generally translates to “spectra” or “spectrum” in English. It is commonly used in scientific contexts, such as physics or chemistry, to refer to a range of colours, energies, or frequencies. In a broader sense, it can also be used metaphorically to describe a range or variety of things.
