Is the Aramaic word for baptism based on the word for immersion, as in the Greek?
#1
Hello,
in the Greek the word Baptism or to baptize (Baptisma or Baptismos) is based upon the word Immerse (Baptizo). Is there some correlation between Immerse and Baptize also in the Aramic word used in the Peshitta such as in Matthew 28,19 or Mark 16,16? Or, from what is the word 'to baptize' derived?

Special thanks,

Rodger Dusatko
