بيطار
Arabic
Alternative forms
- بِيَطْر (biyaṭr) – originally, soon faded
Etymology
Borrowed from Ancient Greek ἱππιατρός (hippiatrós), as are Aramaic אִפִּיטְרוּס (ʾippīṭrūs), Classical Syriac ܦܝܛܪܐ (pyaṭrā) and ܒܛܪܐ (baṭrā). Reinterpreted as from the root ب ط ر (b-ṭ-r) related to “slashing, cutting”, because the farrier cuts the hoofs.
