[samar]

Arabic

The word 'samar' stems from the root verb 'samara', meaning to chat with one another at night, to stay up late having pleasant conversation or to have an evening of entertainment, specifically including Arabic music and poetry.

Samar can also refer more generally to the night, evening or darkness, and, particularly in hot parts of the Arab world, is synonymous with the cool time of day during sundown and beyond where friends come together after the heat of the afternoon sun. Rather poetic in its nightly association, samar can also refer to the shade or dark side of the moon through its associations with the root verb 'samura', meaning to have a dark complexion or to brown.
