خيزران
Arabic
editEtymology
editOriginally attested in Pre-Islamic poetry, like that of an-Nābighah (c.535–c.604), as being abundant in the land of the Byzantines. Although of uncertain identification, it was a kind of plant with pliable twigs or roots that were deemed desirable for spear-making, later being applied to bamboo. Compare Hebrew חָזַר (chazár, “to return, to bounce back”), Akkadian 𒄑𒋗𒌨 (ḫinzūru, “apple tree, apricot tree”), Ugaritic 𐎈𐎏𐎗 (ḥḏr, “apple tree”), Akkadian 𒆹 (ḫazru, “flooded area, swamp, reed marsh”); perhaps ultimately derived from Sumerian 𒄑 (gidru, “scepter, cane”).
