Etymology
In addition to appearing in a totally different language context, this Lehite name for a measure and the disparately spelled JAREDITE PN ESROM [1] must be taken to have separate etymologies. Perhaps the best suggestion for the NEPHITE name is from the HEBREW * ḥeṣrōm, “enclosed, bound together, surrounded,” etc. (cf. Jeremiah 1:17; Job 30:18; 38:3) (RFS), from the root ḥṣr with adverbial ending * -ōm. Cp. the *similar etymology from EPHAH from ʾpp, “to surround.”???
Other possibilities include עזר ʿzr, “to help;” or “to gird, equip;” אזר ʾzr, “to surround with a wall; gird,” and perhaps ʿṣr or, with prosthetic aleph, zrm.?????
Cf. HEBREW seal PN ʿzr (HWN in SC 195). Possibly related to biblical PN Ezra (JAT).
Cf. Book of Mormon ESROM, ZORAM, SEEZORAM, ZEEZROM, CEZORAM, ZERAM, et al.
