A traditional unit of weight used in the Middle East and South Asia, or the Arabic/Persian word for 'spring' or 'spring season'.
From Arabic 'bahar' originally meaning 'spring' (the season), but when referring to weight, it's from Persian, denoting a large commercial measure of goods like spices or textiles.
A bahar is about 400 pounds, and it was the standard measurement for trading spices on ancient trade routes—historians can track medieval commerce by counting bahars in old merchant records!
