Etymology
The word comes from the Semitic root ص-د-ر (ṣ-d-r), which carries the core idea of the chest or of a front part from which things emerge. The noun صَدْر means chest or front, and adding the nisba suffix ـِيّ turns it into an adjective meaning of or relating to the chest. This suffix pattern is standard in Arabic for building relational adjectives from nouns.
