From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Ephphatha
     the Greek form of a Syro-Chaldaic or Aramaic word, meaning "Be
     opened," uttered by Christ when healing the man who was deaf and
     dumb (Mark 7:34). It is one of the characteristics of Mark that
     he uses the very Aramaic words which fell from our Lord's lips.
