Etymology
The word comes from the Semitic root ش-ع-ر (sh-ʿ-r), which carries the sense of perceiving, sensing, and knowing. The singular مَشْعَر means a point or site of perception, and the broken plural مَشاعِر came to mean the inner senses, that is, emotions. The same root produces شِعر, poetry, and شاعِر, poet, since the poet is one who perceives keenly.
