Etymology
Seemingly augmentative to ح و ر (ḥ-w-r), as seen in the variant ش ح و ر (š-ḥ-w-r), but largely borrowed from the Aramaic root related to blackness שׁ־ח־ר / ܫ-ܚ-ܪ (š-ḥ-r) for technical terminology; only شَحْر (šaḥr, “inner part of a valley; vestige of an ulcer”) is genuine, with that geographical having a cognate in Aramaic ס־ח־ר / ܣ-ܚ-ܪ (s-ḥ-r).
Root
