The word Hijr stems from its rotundity, or from hujirawhich means “it has been taken”, i.e. it has been removed from the House. Every construction may be called hijr as it removed or took a piece of the surface of the earth. Another meaning of Hijr is the bosom of a person. Or maybe the word comes from the fact that it is a wall that forbids access (hajarato forbid), in order to perform ţawāf outside it; all these meanings are close to each other.
