تارة¹
- /taː.ra/
Where it comes from
Of a little-developed root. أَتَارَ (ʔatāra, “to repeat”, form IV) is clearly denominal, and about تَارَ (tāra, “to run, to flow (of blood)”) even the Classical Arabic lexicographers have had little to say other than that it is obsolete, and as the examples of آنَ (ʔāna), حَانَ (ḥāna), أَنَى (ʔanā) illustrate, the base stem too tends to be secondary in relation to a time word. In spite of طَوْر (ṭawr, “time”) not directly related to it but probably a borrowing from Aramaic, compare Jewish Literary Aramaic תּוּר (tōr, “to go around (a border)”), rather than cognate to Arabic ث و ر (ṯ w r) or د و ر (d w r) (whence Arabic دَوْرَة (dawra, “period”)) denominal from תּוֹרָא (tōrā, “line, row; cord, band”), which means this word is the same word as تُرّ (turr, “plumb line”), figurative uses from drawing a line forth and back as times pass—compare also تَوّ (taww, “a knot; an instance”). Exactly the meanings are found in Hebrew תּוֹר (tōr, “queue, line; turn; appointment; period”).
