The term "Semite" refers to a member of one of the ancient and modern Semitic-speaking peoples, which includes Arabs, Jews, and various other ethnic groups. The concept of Semites originated from biblical genealogy, but it has been used historically to describe people who speak Semitic languages or have cultural or ancestral ties to Semitic-speaking regions.
