Etymology

Root
ܕ ܥ ܪ (d ˁ r)
2 terms

This meaning of this verb is a result of a semantic shift from “to rebuke,” “to drive off” to “to return”. Itself being a variant of ܓܵܥܸܪ (gāˁir, “to rebuke, to drive off”), it was influenced by it into the meaning of “to return”. The meaning of this verb as “to return” is already recorded in the 9th century from Bar Ali as a colloquialism. The older form of this verb is also borrowed into in Levantine Arabic كَعَر (kaʕar), with the meaning of “to drive away someone yelling”. Compare Turoyo ܕܳܥܰܪ (docar) and Mlahsö ܕܳܥܶܪ (docer) which also developed the same meaning of “to return”. Unrelated to root ܕ ܘ ܪ (d w r) related to circling and going around, as often proposed.
