√ẒHR
1 assistance, support, backing. – 2 pl. ‑āt, n., (public) demonstration, rally – WehrCowan1979.
Essentially a vn. III, the two values of the word relate to (v1) the n. ↗ẓahr ‘back, rear’ and (v2) the vb. ↗ẓahara ‘to appear, become visible’, respectively.
Since there is an overlapping between the three main values of ↗√ẒHR (‘back, rear’, ‘noon, midday’, and ‘to appear, become visible’), the value ‘(public) demonstration, rally’ may be derived from both ↗ẓahr and/or ↗ẓahara. In the first case, the proper meaning would be ‘mutual backing, support’, in the second the aspect of publicity (‘becoming visible together with s.o.’) would be prominent.
