Etymology
دَوَران is the masdar, or verbal noun, of the Form I verb دَارَ (dāra), yadūru, meaning to turn or revolve. It comes from the triliteral Semitic root د-و-ر (d-w-r), which carries the core sense of circular motion. The pattern فَعَلان often marks nouns describing motion or repeated action in Arabic, as in طَيَران (flying) or غَلَيان (boiling).
