Etymology
باهر is the active participle of the Arabic verb بهَرَ (bahara), meaning to dazzle, outshine, or overwhelm someone with brilliance or astonishment. The same root gives بُهر, a noun for breathlessness or gasping, since being overwhelmed can leave a person short of breath. Arabic dictionaries treat these as one root, linking visual dazzling and the physical sensation of being overcome.
