Definition
Plural of hegira; multiple journeys or dramatic departures, especially from difficult situations.
Etymology
Plural form of hegira, from Arabic *hijra*. The plural extends the metaphor to describe multiple instances of escape or migration.
Kelly Says
Using the plural 'hegiras' is actually pretty common in literature when describing populations on the move—like the Great Migration of African Americans from the South, which some scholars call a new 'hegira.'
