Etymology

The word comes from the triliteral root ẓ-h-r (ظ-ه-ر), whose core senses are the back of the body and the act of appearing or becoming visible. The basic Form I verb ظَهَرَ means to appear or come into view. أَظْهَرَ is the Form IV causative built on the pattern ʾafʿala, so it means to make something appear, that is, to show or reveal.
