Etymology
The word comes from the Arabic root ش-ع-ر, which underlies شِعْر (poetry) and the verb شَعَرَ (to feel, to perceive). Arabic grammarians long linked poetry to keen perception, since a poet was seen as someone who senses things others miss. شِعْرِيّ is formed by adding the nisba suffix -iyy to شِعْر, a standard way in Arabic to turn a noun into a relational adjective, much like adding '-ic' to a Greek or Latin noun in English.
