Same root as a Hebrew word, but the meaning drifted over the centuries.

أ-م-رHebrew root
א-מ-רAmr, 'command, matter,' is built on the same root as Hebrew אמר, 'to say' — a command being, at bottom, an authoritative utterance. Arabic narrowed the root toward ordering and affairs (أمر), while Hebrew kept the plain sense of speech.
