The Arabic word سَهِرَ (sahira) has a primary meaning related to staying awake at night.
The word "سَهِرَ" (sahara) in Arabic means "to stay awake" or "to be sleepless." It is often used to describe someone who stays up late, whether for work, study, or leisure.
The root of the word is س ه ر (s-h-r), which often carries connotations of sleeplessness, vigilance, or staying up at night.
Interestingly, the word "صَحْرَاء" (ṣaḥrāʾ), which sounds similar, means "desert" in Arabic and is the origin of the name "Sahara" for the vast desert in North Africa. The two words are unrelated in meaning but share a phonetic resemblance.
