▪ The modern meaning of muḥāḍaraẗ – ʻlecture’ – seems to have developed from the idea of being able to give ready answers in a conversation. The vb. III, ḥāḍara, of which muḥāḍaraẗ is a vn., is attested in Hava1899 still as ‘to give a ready (answer)’. This vb. can be interpreted as an associative L-stem, coined from †ḥaḍur ‘always ready to reply; quick’ (ibid.), which is based on ↗ḥaḍara ʻto be present’, hence also ʻto be ready, prepared’.
