سور

See also: سؤر, شور, سؤز, and سوز

Arabic

Etymology 1

Argued to be a loan from Aramaic שׂוּרָא / ܫܘܪܐ (šūrā), but other cognates such as Sabaean 𐩣𐩬𐩪𐩥𐩧𐩩 (mns¹wrt, “walls”) and Tigre ሶር (sor, “partition wall”) (unless that form is itself borrowed from Arabic) suggest that it may in fact be inherited.

Noun

سُور • (sūr) m (plural أَسْوَار (ʔaswār) or سِيرَان (sīrān))

wall that encloses and protects a building
