Others suppose it means "Excuses" because at Zaar concerts are allowing the patient women do certain things beyond their habits and the way of their Community's life to satisfy their masters who controlling them (the masters here means, the bad spirits which controlling them). Despite these attempts to understand the origin of language is likely that the word is not in classical Arabic in it's assets, and may have been Egyptian Pharaonic or Egyptian slang or the creation of mankind or all together. Thousands of women in Africa and the Middle East uses Zaar in order to recover from symptoms or diseases believed to be due the “Jinn” or spirits (masters) which have Inability of medicine from the definition, diagnosis and treatment which referred the people to unknown causes or to the underworld.
