The root of the word is: Mehare – taught, gave instruction, led, showed, advised. Temhire – learned, taught. This signifies a time when God’s goodness, compassion, patience, and saving work are widely proclaimed in the Church. Astemhro (when it writes with “ሐ”in Amharic alphabet) also means a time of mercy and forgiveness. The root: Mehare – forgave, forgave a debt. Amhare –  to please, to forgive, to show pity, to grieve. This is a Ge’ez verb expressing acts of mercy, compassion, and intercession, showing how one responds to the needs and sufferings of others.
