How the two words are related

Cognate

Same Semitic root, same meaning — you already know this word.

Arabic root

ط-ر-ي

Hebrew root

ט-ר-י

Hebrew tari (טרי), 'fresh', shares this exact ṭ-r-y root with Arabic — and it's already biblical: Samson's weapon was a לחי חמור טריה, 'a fresh jawbone of a donkey' (Judges 15:15). Aramaic has the root too, so all three languages keep the same word for 'fresh, moist'.
