1 ↗¹ʕayyār; 2 (pl. -āt) crane (machine) – WehrCowan1976
conc
▪ Prob. related to ↗ʕiyār ‘gauge (measures, weights)’, as *‘crane of a pair of scales’, rather than fig. use of ¹ʕayyār ‘scoundrel’, though the latter option is not completely inconceivable, as tools sometimes are likened to persons or professions (cf. Engl jack for a ‘car lifter’, or dialAr ḥarāmī ‘thieve’ for an electric ‘plug, adapter’). Or specialised use of ints. (FaʕʕāL) var. of ClassAr ʕāʔir ‘going to and fro, and round about’ (pointer on scales)? Cf. also ²ʕayr (↗ʕYR_9) *‘anything prominent\protuberant\projecting’ (showing the tipping of the scales)?
