إزار

See also: آزار‎, ازار‎, ازاز‎, and أزار‎

Arabic

Etymology

Similar to the root ء س ر‎ (ʔ-s-r), whence also إِسَار‎ (ʔisār, “strap”), but perhaps more closely via Aramaic אזרא‎ (ʾizārā), איזרא‎ / ܐܝܙܪܐ‎ (ʾīzārā, “a kind of wide belt as a garment”) from a root cognate to Arabic عَزَرَ‎ (ʕazara, “to withhold, to restrain”), as it derives best in Hebrew אָזַר‎ (ʾāzar, “to press, to trouble; to be a pressing pain to, to wound, to besiege etc.; to bind, to gird”), forming Hebrew אֵיזֹור‎, אֵזֹור‎ (ʾēzōr, “girdle, belt”), in which shape it has been borrowed into Jewish Palestinian Aramaic אֵיזֹורא‎, אֵזֹורא‎ (ʾēzōrā, “girdle, belt”). Hardly thus another clothing term from Proto-Armenian but more likely coincidentally similar to Old Armenian եզր (ezr, “edge of a cloth, end”).
