A simar, as defined in the 1913 ''Webster's Dictionary'', is "a woman's long dress or robe; also light covering; a scarf." The word is derived from French simarre, and is also written as cimar, cymar, samare, and simare. A simar can also be used by Roman Catholic Clerics (Priest, Monsignor, Bishop, Archbishop, Cardinal, Pope)
