Arabic

Etymology 1

Borrowed from Aramaic תּוֹרָא (tōrā, line, row; cord, band), from Akkadian 𒄙 (/⁠turru, ṭurru⁠/, yarn, twine, wire, string; a twist of fibers), considered possibly a loan from or influenced by Sumerian 𒄙 (dur, strip) or natively inherited from Proto-Semitic *t-w-r- (to go about, to circle, to turn about, to encompass, to come around again; plaiting, braiding). Also compare Hebrew תּוֹר (tōr, line) and potentially related term Persian تار (târ, cord, string) possibly influenced by phono-semantic matching.
