Etymology of GHESS

The word "Ghess" is an alternate spelling for "Chess", which is derived from the Persian word "shāh" meaning "king". This Persian term made its way into Arabic as "shāh", which later became "shatranj" in medieval Arabic, referring to the game of chess. As the game spread across Europe, it adopted different names and variations, including the French "échecs" and the Spanish "ajedrez". Eventually, the word "Chess" was formed in English, possibly influenced by its close association with the French term. "Ghess" appears to be a variation of "Chess" used in some cultures or regions.
