وَزِيرٌ
i. q. مُوَازِرٌ [One who bears a burden or burdens with another: or one who aids, assists or helps, and strengthens, another: see 3:] (

i. q. مُجَالِسٌ. (
A.)
b2: (
tropical:) [A vicegerent of a king or the like: or a confidential minister of state: in English commonly written vizier, in imitation of the Turkish pronunciation; but properly, wezeer:] the familiar of the king, who bears his master's burden, and aids him by his counsel: (
K:) or the وزير of the king is the person who bears with him (يُوَازِرُهُ, i. e. يُحَامِلُهُ,) the burdens of the regal office: not from مُوَازَرَةٌ, signifying the “ act of aiding or the like,” because the و in this latter word is substituted for ء, and the derivative from it of the measure فَعِيلٌ is أَزِيرٌ: (
A:)
ISd says, some hold that the و in وزير is substituted for ء; but Abu-l-'Abbás says, that this is not agreeable with
analogy; for the substitution of ء for و in a word of this measure is rare, and that of و for ء is more strange: (
TA:) the وزير is so called because he bears for the king the burden of administration: (
S, *
Msb:) or it is from ↓ وَزَرٌ, signifying “ a mountain to which one has recourse to save himself from destruction: ” so the وزير of the khaleefeh is one upon whose counsel the khaleefeh relies in his affairs, and to whom he betakes himself for refuge or safety: (Aboo-Is-hák,
TA:)
pl. وُزَرَآءُ (
A,
Msb,
K) and أَوْزَارٌ; (
A,
K;) the latter like أَشْرَافٌ and أَيْتَامٌ, (
A,
TA,) pls. of شَرِيفٌ and يَتِيمٌ. (
TA.) وِزَارَةٌ and وَزَارَةٌ The condition, or office, of a وَزِير: (
S,
Msb,
K:) the former word is the more approved. (
ISk,
Msb.) وَازِرٌ Bearing, or carrying, a heavy load, or burden. (
A.)
b2: [Hence,] also, (
A,) and ↓ مَوْزُورٌ, (
S,
A,
Msb,
K,) (
tropical:) Sinning: (
S,
A,
K:) or bearing [a burden of] sin. (
Msb.) مَأْزُورَاتٍ occurs in a
trad., for مَوْزُورَاتٍ, the regular form, because it is there coupled with مَأْجُورَاتٍ, to which it is opposed. (
S,
Mgh,
Msb,
K.) مَوْزُورٌ: see وَازِرٌ.
