تاجر^¹

/taː.d͡ʒir/

Where it comes from

Borrowed from Classical Syriac ܬܓܪܐ (taggārā); perhaps it was loaned as تُجَّار (tujjār), which was then analyzed as a plural for a singular تَاجِر (tājir) to be derived by back-formation.

The Syriac descends through a form *tangār from Akkadian 𒁮𒃼 (tamkārum, “trader”). Doublet of مَاكِر (mākir, “planner, schemer”).
