Its root in the classical dictionaries

البوار: فرط الكساد، ولما كان فرط الكساد يؤدي إلى الفساد- كما قيل: كسد حتى فسد- عبر بالبوار عن الهلاك، يقال: بار الشيء يبور بوارا وبورا، قال عز وجل: تجارة لن تبور [فاطر/ 29] ، ومكر أولئك هو يبور [فاطر/ 10] ،

المفردات في غريب القرآن — الراغب الأصفهاني

الباء والواو والراء أصلان: أحدهما هلاك الشيء وما يشبهه من تعطله وخلوه. والآخر ابتلاء الشيء وامتحانه.
