شَرْقِيّeasternEtymology
Shurūq is the verbal noun of the Form I verb shàraqa, meaning to rise or shine, said of the sun. The triliteral root sh-r-q carries the core sense of eastward brightness, and the same root gives Arabic its word for east. The word has stayed close to this concrete, visual meaning for centuries, from classical poetry to modern weather reports.
