ח-צ-דModern Hebrew's harvest word, קציר, comes from an entirely different root (ק-צ-ר). Arabic ḥaṣād's real Hebrew relative shows up one language over: Aramaic חצד, 'to reap' (as in Talmudic חצדא), a regular match via ص↔צ. Hebrew absorbed this root only in specialized borrowings, never as its everyday harvest word.
