قَالُوا۟ مَآ أَخْلَفْنَا مَوْعِدَكَ بِمَلْكِنَا وَلَٰكِنَّا حُمِّلْنَآ أَوْزَارًا مِّن زِينَةِ ٱلْقَوْمِ فَقَذَفْنَٰهَا فَكَذَٰلِكَ أَلْقَى ٱلسَّامِرِىُّ
قَالَ فَمَا خَطْبُكَ يَٰسَٰمِرِىُّ
Why this meaning was chosen
The common noun سَامِر occurs once in a scene of arrogant, objectionable talk and denotes the conversational gathering. The remaining forms are the proper name al-Samiri for the individual who misled Moses' people through the calf. The Quran offers no internal derivational link from that name to evening conversation, so the proper-name branch is kept as a lexical collision.
