1 present; 2 attending; 3a prepared (li‑for); b ready; 4 (pl. ḥuḍḍār, ḥaḍaraẗ) settled, sedentary, resident, village or town dweller, not nomadic; 5 n., al-ḥāḍir, the present (time) – WehrCowan1976.

conc

▪ [v4] ʻsettled, sedentary’ may have been the original meaning, derived from the corresponding vb. I, ↗ḥaḍara ʻto settle’. ʻThe settled one’ then seems to have developed into [v1] ʻthe present one’, and ʻthe present one’ into [v3] ʻthe prepared, ready one’. The nominal use as [v5] ʻthe present (time)’ is of course from [v1].
▪ The word has been borrowed into many languages. In Tu, ḥazır is very widespread and has generated a large semantic field in its own right (see below, section WEST).
