▪ Originally a n.loc. of ↗ḥaḍara, the basic meaning of maḥḍar is *ʻplace in which s.o. is present, place where people come together’. The word for the place then also came to mean [v3] the ʻ assembly, meeting, gathering, convention’ itself as well as [v1] and [v2], the act of gathering and being present in such a place. [v4] seems to be a special development, originally signifying *‘report written in the presence of…’.
