Etymology
مَزْرَع comes from the Semitic root z-r-ʿ, which means to sow or plant. The mīm prefix turns the root into a noun of place, so the word names the ground where sowing happens. The same root gives Arabic its words for crop, agriculture, and farmer. Related forms appear across the Semitic family, from Hebrew to Akkadian.
