For whatever it is worth, it seems that "al-adab" in Arabic originally meant "ethics", "etiquette" but has become to mean means "literature", "writings" and things like that.
The "Al-adab Al-Mufrad" is a book of ethics that is important within Islam. That "aladaba" could maybe maybe possibly perhaps be a shortened form of the Latinized version of the name of that book, or some other Arabic book. Like "almagest" and "algebra"...
