French[edit]

Etymology[edit]

Inherited from Middle French hasard, from Old French hasart, from Old Spanish azar, from Arabic اَلزَّهْر (az-zahr, the dice). Compare modern Spanish azar, Italian zara. The initial h- was originally purely graphic, but became aspirated by analogy with other non-Latin words. The final -d/-t is also excrescent, perhaps influenced by the suffix -ard.

Pronunciation[edit]

  • (aspirated h) IPA(key): /a.zaʁ/
  • (file)

Noun[edit]

hasard m (plural hasards)

  1. (usually in the singular) (random) chance
    Synonym: raccroc
  2. a coincidence
