"game of chance played with dice," possibly from Spanish azar "an unfortunate card or throw at dice," which is said to be from Arabic az-zahr (for al-zahr) "the die."

The -d was added in French in confusion with the native suffix -ard. Sense evolved in French to "chances in gambling," then "chances in life."

"put something at stake in a game of chance," 1520s, from Middle French hasarder "to play at gambling" (15c.), from hasard (see hazard (n.)).
