The sense of sores or haemorrhoids possibly a semantic loan from Classical Syriac ܬܘܬܐ (tūṯā), that is found therewith already in the 6th-century Book of Medicines and has similar analogues like Arabic بَاسُور (bāsūr, “haemorrhoids”) from a derivative of Classical Syriac ܒܣܪܐ (*busrā, “unripe grapes”).
