دير

See also: دیز‎ and دیر‎

Arabic

Pronunciation

(Egypt) IPA^(key): /deːr/

Etymology 1

Borrowed from Classical Syriac ܕܝܪܐ‎ (dayrā) which generally means “dwelling” and specifically “cloister”, from the Syriac root ܕ-ܘ-ܪ‎ (d-w-r) relating to dwelling. Not from the Arabic root د و ر‎ (d-w-r) as this means “spinning” and does not fit semantically.

Noun

دَيْر • (dayr) m (plural أَدْيَار‎ (ʾadyār) or أَدْيِرَة‎ (ʾadyira) or دُيُورَة‎ (duyūra))

monastery, convent, cloister
