Etymology

[edit]

Uncertain with possible connections:

  • The root ص ق ر (ṣ q r) meaning "to rise high in elevation or temperature", "to boil or build up"; possibly derived onomatopoeically from a bird-of-prey's screeching cry or the screech of steam escaping. Related to Akkadian 𒁲 𒊑 (zaqāru, literally to build high); for more see ziggurat.
  • Distantly related to Egyptian
