How the two words are related
New word
No Hebrew relative — learn it fresh.
Arabic root
ط-ي-رNo shared root with Hebrew טייס (root ט-י-ס, a modern coinage) — but the two pilots are built the very same way: ṭayyār is the CaCCāC professions mold, exactly the pattern behind טייס. Bonus fact: the feminine طَيَّارَة also moonlights in everyday speech as the word for 'airplane' — see the airplane entry.
