🏷 Semitic castro hidden ruler pun spook name · name — by Gerry · Jul 2020 · 158 words

The Spanish name Alcazar is really a Spanish transcription for Arabic al-qaṣr meaning “the castle”. Like Spanish Castro, this stems from Latin castra / castrum. The ultimate origin lies perhaps with Semitic qṣr for “cut-off”, which also seems related to Caesar. But wherever that word came from, we know what it means for the spooks: These names mark them as natural “palace”-born parasites, “cut off” from regular lowborn folks.
