"etymology_text": "Assumed to be from Aramaic צתרא (ṣaṯrā, ṣāṯrā) / ܨܬܪܐ (ṣaṯrā, ṣāṯrā), the /a/ + /ʕ/ in Arabic a regular resolution of /aː/ giving a word an Arabic shape, like in Arabic لَعْل (laʕl) for Persian لال (lâl), or the /ʕ/ was previously present in Aramaic too. The form with the onset corresponding to the Aramaic, صَعْتَر (ṣaʕtar), is the most classical in Arabic.\nThe ultimate origin is speculative; the word is also found in Hebrew צַתְרָה (ṣátrā), Kurdish catirî, جاترە (catre), Middle Armenian ծոթրին (cotʻrin), and Latin saturēia. In one old view all are ultimately from the Latin term, the origin of which is unknown.\nIn Mandaville’s conception, there is an “old demonstrative s” seen in Akkadian 𒊭 (/ša/) “with the semantic effect of” Arabic ذُو (ḏū) prefixed to عِطْر (ʕiṭr, “scent”), hence the word means “that which has scent”. (Or is it the plant name عِتْر (ʕitr)? He writes ʿitr and glosses it “perfume”.)\nHowever the oldest forms seem to be found in Akkadian 𒌑𒍝𒋼𒊒 (^(U₂).za-te-ru /zateru, ṣateru/, “savory and the Origanum family”) found in lexical lists connected to Akkadian 𒌑𒈛𒈥𒌅 (^(U₂).LUḪ.MAR.TU /šibburratu/, “an aromatic herb”) and Akkadian 𒍝𒄠𒁍𒊒𒊬 (za-am-bu-ru^(SAR) /zambūru/, “thyme”).\nOf further curiosity is the possible attestation of the /ʕ/ preserved in cuneiform; it is common for the zero reflex of /ʕ/, to only be detectable in Akkadian by the e-coloring of an adjacent *a. The distance between Arabic and Akkadian and the lack of its presence in their likely intermediaries, possibly suggests a form of further common origin, albeit with a metathesis of /ʕ/ and /t/, and a retention of that form in Arabic, but not so in other Semitic tongues.",

"etymology_text": "Assumed to be from Aramaic צתרא (ṣaṯrā, ṣāṯrā) / ܨܬܪܐ (ṣaṯrā, ṣāṯrā), the /a/ + /ʕ/ in Arabic a regular resolution of /aː/ giving a word an Arabic shape, like in Arabic لَعْل (laʕl) for Persian لال (lâl), or the /ʕ/ was previously present in Aramaic too. The form with the onset corresponding to the Aramaic, صَعْتَر (ṣaʕtar), is the most classical in Arabic.\nThe ultimate origin is speculative; the word is also found in Hebrew צַתְרָה (ṣátrā), Kurdish catirî, جاترە (catre), Middle Armenian ծոթրին (cotʻrin), and Latin saturēia. In one old view all are ultimately from the Latin term, the origin of which is unknown.\nIn Mandaville’s conception, there is an “old demonstrative s” seen in Akkadian 𒊭 (/ša/) “with the semantic effect of” Arabic ذُو (ḏū) prefixed to عِطْر (ʕiṭr, “scent”), hence the word means “that which has scent”. (Or is it the plant name عِتْر (ʕitr)? He writes ʿitr and glosses it “perfume”.)\nHowever the oldest forms seem to be found in Akkadian 𒌑𒍝𒋼𒊒 (^(U₂).za-te-ru /zateru, ṣateru/, “savory and the Origanum family”) found in lexical lists connected to Akkadian 𒌑𒈛𒈥𒌅 (^(U₂).LUḪ.MAR.TU /šibburratu/, “an aromatic herb”) and Akkadian 𒍝𒄠𒁍𒊒𒊬 (za-am-bu-ru^(SAR) /zambūru/, “thyme”).\nOf further curiosity is the possible attestation of the /ʕ/ preserved in cuneiform; it is common for the zero reflex of /ʕ/, to only be detectable in Akkadian by the e-coloring of an adjacent *a. The distance between Arabic and Akkadian and the lack of its presence in their likely intermediaries, possibly suggests a form of further common origin, albeit with a metathesis of /ʕ/ and /t/, and a retention of that form in Arabic, but not so in other Semitic tongues.",
