Etymology
The word comes from the triliteral root ح-ر-ك (ḥ-r-k), meaning movement. It is the active participle of the Form II verb حَرَّكَ, to move or set in motion. The مُـ prefix marks the doer, so the word names the thing that moves something else. Arabic is Semitic, so it has no Indo-European root.
