تر

See also: ـتر, پز, پر, بز, تز, ثر, بر, بژ, ير, and یر

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 (târ, “cord, string”) possibly influenced by phono-semantic matching.

plumb line
