"ħatar" meaning in All languages combined

See ħatar on Wiktionary

Noun [Maltese]

IPA: /ˈħa.tar/ Forms: ħtar [plural], oħtra [plural], ħtur [plural], ħtura [plural], ħtajjar [diminutive], ħtajtar [diminutive]
Etymology: From Arabic. At least two roots are comparable and the Maltese is perhaps from a merger of them: 1.) حَظِر (ḥaẓir, “picket, cane for a fence”), حِظار (ḥiẓār, “fence, enclosure”); 2.) خِطْر (ḵiṭr, “branch of a tree”), خَطّار (ḵaṭṭār, “camel’s tail, pendulum, quivering spear”). If the original meaning was “club, cudgel”, then حَدَرَ (ḥadara, “to be thick, swollen”) may also be relevant.
