Azar comes from Arabic al-zahr meaning "the dice." It first referred to dice games and later shifted to mean chance, luck, or fate in Spanish. The same root also gave English the word hazard.

In Spanish culture, azar often relates to luck, fate, or gambling (juegos de azar). It reflects both opportunity and risk in daily life.
