Borrowed from French sofa, ultimately from Arabic صُفَّة‎ (ṣuffa, “a long seat made of stone or brick”) or Aramaic צפא‎/ ܨܦܬܐ. Cognate with or derived from Aramaic צפא‎/ ܨܦܬܐ (ṣipā’, ṣeppəṯā, “mat, matting”). The word may have entered European languages via Turkish or through the Moorish occupation of Iberia.
