to perish
- 1924-2002, Abdullah Siraj ad-Din al-Husseini, “page 6,7”, in صعود الأقوال ورفع الأعمال:
  ولكن التجارة الناجحة الرابحة التي تدر على صاحبها أضعافا مضاعفة على وجه الاستمرار بلا بوار تلك التجارة هي في الإكثار من الكلم الطيب والعمل الصالح
  But successful and profitable trade which increases its owner multiple fold on the face of continuation without ruin, this trade is through increasing in good words and righteous deeds
to lie fallow, be uncultivated (land)
to be futile, unsuccessful, unprofitable, lead to nothing (work)
- إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَتْلُونَ كِتَـٰبَ ٱللَّهِ وَأَقَامُوا۟ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَأَنفَقُوا۟ مِمَّا رَزَقْنَـٰهُمْ سِرًّۭا وَعَلَانِيَةًۭ يَرْجُونَ تِجَـٰرَةًۭ لَّن تَبُورَ ٢٩https://quran.com/35:29
  Indeed, those who recite the Book of Allāh and establish prayer and spend [in His cause] out of what We have provided them, secretly and publicly, [can] expect a transaction [i.e., profit] that will never perish -
to be unsalable, be dead stock (merchandise)

Etymology 4

From Middle Persian bʾl (bār, “bank, shore”).

This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.

The PIE root usually refers to piercing, but some of its descendants seem to refer to striking or cutting instead. This seems semantically feasible, as "sliced" things are often thin, and the root does seem amply attested in Iranian.^[2]”
