H1197 בָּעַר bâʻar → Root

2 languages

Root of the בער family (8 members).

To burn, consume by fire, kindle; by extension, to destroy by burning or make waste through fire. In certain contexts, to behave in a dull, uncomprehending, or brutish manner (as an unrelated denominative sense).

Etymology From the root בער (ב-ע-ר), which at its base means 'to burn' or 'to consume' (by fire). The denominative sense meaning 'to act brutishly' likely derives by folk etymology or semantic development, possibly by association with the noun בַּעַר (baʻar, 'brute' or 'beast').
