proper noun
- (freemasonry) A symbolic or ceremonial name for God associated by some writers with certain Masonic rites.
Etymology: Various etymologies of this word are found; as a mystic word it may be deliberately obscure, though the first syllable is invariably given as being Hebrew (HEchar, , ÖÖ) (Yah) "Yahweh". Some theories often cited:- First, that it is a compound of (HEchar, , ÖÖ) (Yah) "Yahweh" + (HEchar, , Ö) (bul) "on high, in heaven" + (HEchar, , Ö) ("on) "strength". This is the etymology currently advocated by Masons. Reference: The Rev"d Canon Richard Tydeman, An Address to Grand Chapter (of England), 13th November 1985.
- Second, that it may have been a blend of Hebrew (HEchar, , ÖÖ) (Yah) "Yahweh" + (HEchar, , ÖÖÖ) (ZÉbÅlÅn) "Zebulun or Zabulon, son of Jacob".
- Third, it is explained as being a combination of Hebrew (HEchar, , ÖÖ) (Yah) "Yahweh" + (HEchar, , Ö) (bul) "Baal", + (HEchar, , Ö) ("On) "On" (a city of Egypt, explained as a reference to Osiris, perhaps as a misunderstanding of Genesis 46:20).
