Abstract
The word "Qasurah" is one of the singular words of the Qur'an which is used in verse 51 of Surah Muddaththir. Vocabulary scholars and commentators do not have the same view on the origin, meaning and originality of this word. Some consider this word to be familiar from Persian and some from Abyssinian. This research seeks to answer the question of the origin and meaning of this word in a historical and analytical way. What is the meaning of this word in the poems of Jahiliyyah, Quran and narrations, and can it be accepted that this word is learned from Persian or Abyssinian language? A detailed study and analysis of various lexical sources, poems of Jahiliyyah, and books of Arabic scholars shows that this word in Arabic has its roots in "Qasr" and is made of verbs and quasi-verbs; The use of this word in ancient sources and poems of Jahiliyyah refutes the hypothesis that it is masculine from Persian or Abyssinian language. There are various views on the meaning of this word by lexicographers and commentators, the best view being that this word means lion (predator) or shooter hunters.
