حَضَرَto attend, be present
حُضورattendance, presence
حاضِرpresent, readyEtymology
The verb comes from the Semitic root ح-ض-ر (ḥ-ḍ-r), which carries the idea of being present or attending. It takes the Form III pattern فاعَل, often used for actions done toward or before others. To lecture is to be present before an audience, so the sense of public speaking grows directly from the root meaning of presence.
