Haftarah
haf·ta·rah
noun
Origin
From Hebrew הַפְטָרָה (haftará), also through Yiddish הפֿטרה (haftore). The alternative spellings with -or- and pronunciations with /ɔːɹ/ - which may appear even outside of Ashkenazi pronunciation traditions - may possibly be strengthened due to influence from Torah or reanalysis to half + Torah, as the haftarah follows the reading of the Torah and is of secondary importance.
