Core sense — a house, a dwelling; an abode; a tribegenerated
1a house, a dwelling—دَارَةٌ
Originally دَوَرٌ, as will be seen below. A house; a mansion; and especially a house of a large size, with a court; or a house with several sets of apartments and a court: a place of abode comprising a building, or buildings, and a court, or open space with no building on it.
Or this second word is the more particular term, meaning some one particular house, the first being a generic term.
According to IJ it is from دَارَ, because of the many movements of the people in it.
It is of the feminine gender, and sometimes masculine, as in the Kur 16:32, where it is taken as meaning مَثْوَى or مَوْضِع, or as being a generic noun.
Plurals of paucity: أَدْؤُرٌ, أَدْوُرٌ, آدُرٌ (Abu-l-Ḥasan) formed by transposition [for أَوْدُرٌ], أَدْوَارٌ, أَدْيَارٌ, and أَدْوِرَةٌ; and of multitude: دِيَارٌ, like جِبَالٌ as plural of جَبَلٌ, and دِوَارٌ, دِيَارَةٌ, دُورٌ, like أُسْدٌ as plural of أَسَدٌ, and دِيرَانٌ, دُورَانٌ, دِيَرٌ, دِيَرَةٌ; the ism jamʿ دَارَةٌ; the plurals of plurals دِيَارَاتٌ [plural of دِيَارٌ] and دُورَاتٌ [plural of دُورٌ]; and, as plural of دَارَةٌ, دَارَاتٌ.
The diminutive is دُوَيْرَةٌ.

وَقِيلَ لِلَّذِينَ ٱتَّقَوْا۟ مَاذَآ أَنزَلَ رَبُّكُمْ ۚ قَالُوا۟ خَيْرًا ۗ لِّلَّذِينَ أَحْسَنُوا۟ فِى هَـٰذِهِ ٱلدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةٌ ۚ وَلَدَارُ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ خَيْرٌ ۚ وَلَنِعْمَ دَارُ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَTo the righteous (when) it is said, "What is it that your Lord has revealed?" they say, "All that is good." To those who do good, there is good in this world, and the Home of the Hereafter is even better and excellent indeed is the Home of the righteous,-Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur’ān (1934)

Mtr states that it is also said to mean a year, the same as حَوْلٌ; and if this is correct — which he does not hold to be the case — it is from الدَّوَرَانُ, like حَوْلٌ from الحَوَلَانُ; or, as some say, it means the same as دَهْرٌ, that is, a long time or the like.
3the name of a certain idol—الدَّارُ

دار and دير, explained by Freytag as meaning “Medulla liquida in ossibus”, are mistakes for رَارٌ and رَيْرٌ.
