Where it comes from

Cognate with Arabic صَرْصَر (ṣarṣar), صُرْصُر (ṣurṣur) and صُرْصُور (ṣurṣūr) with similar meaning. Presumably onomatopoeic, from the sound the insect makes.

noun צְרָצַר · ts'ratsár · צִרְצָרִים · צִרְצַר־ · צִרְצְרֵי־

cricket (an insect in the order Orthoptera, especially family Gryllidae, that makes a chirping sound by rubbing its wing casings against combs on its hind legs)
