שָׁרְשׁ֨וֹ/הִי֙
𐤔𐤓𐤔𐤅/𐤄𐤉
shôresh
roots-its
A root, especially that of a plant or tree; by extension, a figurative basis, source, or underlying cause of something. The word is commonly used for physical roots (as in vegetation), but also appears in extended metaphoric senses, such as an origin, foundational element, or source of a people, lineage, or quality. While it is used both literally and figuratively, its core meaning is that of a subterranean root system that nourishes and supports growth.
