خمار

خِمَار • (ḵimār) m (plural أَخْمِرَة (ʔaḵmira) or خُمُر (ḵumur))

1. (of women) veil, covering, headcloth

   Synonyms: نَصِيف (naṣīf), حِجَاب (ḥijāb), قِنَاع (qināʕ)

   • 609–632 CE, Qur'an, 24:31:

     وَلْيَضْرِبْنَ بِخُمُرِهِنَّ عَلَى جُيُوبِهِنَّ

     wa-l-yaḍribna bi-ḵumurihinna ʕalā juyūbihinna

     And to draw their clothes(cover) over their bosoms

2. (obsolete, of men) covering, turban

   Synonyms: نَصِيف (naṣīf), عِمَامَة (ʕimāma)

Although both خِمَار (ḵimār) and حِجَاب (ḥijāb) are very common words that refer to religiously and/or socially prescribed veil or headgear worn by women, the former, which could originally be used in texts written in the Classical idiom to refer to any veil, is now often associated with looser and longer, and hence more proper, clothes and garments (such as a جِلْبَاب (jilbāb, “a robe”) or a مِلْحَفَة (milḥafa, “a typically thick and very long outer garment”)), while the latter word, which originally meant "barrier", has become a more general term referring to a cloth draped about the head of a woman and is thus often translated as "scarf" or "headscarf". For the face coverings, see بُرْقُع (burquʕ) and نِقَاب (niqāb).
