Etymology
مُؤَشِّر is the active participle of the Form II verb أَشَّرَ, meaning to mark, to signal, or to point to. Both come from the triliteral Semitic root ء-ش-ر (ʔ-sh-r), which carries the sense of marking or leaving a trace. The word entered wide use in modern Arabic to describe things that point to or register a value, such as an index or a cursor.
