conc

▪ The n. is either deverb. from ↗ḥaḍara ʻ³to be settled, sedentary’, or the latter is denom. from ḥaḍar, in which case ḥaḍar would be the etymon proper of almost all derivatives of √ḤḌR (see below, section DERIV).
▪ The idea of ʻsettling down, becoming sedentary’ may have developed from a primary *‘gathering, coming together, agglomerating’, as the obsol. item ^†ḥaḍīr(aẗ) ‘thick purulent matter in a wound, afterbirth’ could suggest.
