Arabic

Etymology 1

From Proto-West Semitic *našr-, whence was derived the denominal root ن س ر (n-s-r).

Noun

نَسْر • (nasr) m (plural نُسُور (nusūr) or نُسُورَة (nusūra))

  1. (zoology) a vulture
  2. (proscribed, dialectal) an eagle
    Synonym: عُقَاب (ʕuqāb)
Usage notes

The word is commonly used to refer to eagles, especially in the dialects. This use, however, is almost unanimously criticized by prescriptivists, who maintain that عُقَاب (ʕuqāb) should be used instead.
