Etymology
The word derives from the Arabic triliteral root sh-w-r, which carries the sense of consultation and taking counsel. It is the passive participle of the Form X verb istashāra, meaning to seek advice. The Form X pattern turns the root into a person who is consulted, hence one whose advice is sought.
