Just learned the #Spanish phrase "al azar" (by chance, at random) and found it is related to the #Bulgarian word "зар" [zar] and the #Greek "ζάρι" [zári] meaning "a die" (singular of dice), coming from a medieval #Arabic word for "a die" - az-zahr 🎲
Apparently the #English "hazard" is also a relation!
