أبار

Occupational noun from the ء ب ر‎ (ʾ-b-r) or إِبْرَة‎ (ʾibra, “needle”)

أَبَّار • (ʾabbār) m (plural أَبَّارُون‎ (ʾabbārūn))

1. needle-man, who makes or sells needles

Borrowed from Aramaic אֲבָרָא‎ / ܐܰܒܳܪܳܐ‎ (ăḇārā, “lead”), from Akkadian 𒀀𒈖 (A.GAR₅ /abāru/, “lead”), from Sumerian 𒀀𒈖 (A.GAR₅ /agar/, “lead”). Also Hebrew אֲבָר‎‎ (ʾăḇār, “lead”), Persian آبار‎ (âbâr, “lead”), and phonologically somewhat deviating Hebrew עֹפֶרֶת‎ (ʿōp̄ereṯ, “lead”) and Old Armenian կապար (kapar, “lead”).
