Etymology
The verb comes from the Semitic root ش-ر-ك (sh-r-k), which carries the idea of sharing and partnership. It is a Form III verb, a pattern that adds an internal long vowel to signal doing something together with another party. From the same root come the words for partner, company, and association.
