Etymology

[edit]
Root
ذ ر ء (ḏ r ʔ)
2 terms

Dialectal variant of ذَرَا (ḏarā) or ذَرَّ (ḏarra) in all senses. How “to sow” or “to strew”, with meaning “offspring” in ذُرِّيَّة (ḏurriyya), can mean “to create”, needs no explanation. For the coloration meaning apparently ذَرَأ (ḏaraʔ) is the original and meant color specks figuratively strewn, ultimately becoming a dead metaphor like Russian сы́паться (sýpatʹsja) which is used for skin rashes and the like.
