"ምሕረት" meaning in Ge'ez

See ምሕረት in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Forms: məḥrät [romanization], ምሕረታት [plural]
Etymology: Probably from Proto-Semitic *r-ḥ-m, via metathesis. Compare Arabic رَحِمَ (raḥima), Hebrew רָחַם (rakhám). Alternatively, linked to Hebrew מָחַל (makhál, “forgive”), but this is semantically further and still requires a phonological shift; or to Egyptian mrj (“to love”), but this is likewise dubious.

  1. compassion, pity, commiseration
