the-significance-of-root-words

Post by abdalazizariff »

"Arabic words have a trilateral root, the core of the word, which preserves the word’s original intent. These three letters serve as the foundation of the word, onto which prefixes and pronouns are attached to form a phrase."

"A simple analogy would be that of a tree. The root of the tree is always the same, while the tree itself changes with the seasons.For example, the root word سمع (sin-mim-ayn) is described in Lane’s Lexicon as:
He gave ear, hearkened, listened, – intentionally; he understood its meaning, the meaning of a person’s speech. So from this meaning, the words hear, listen, are derived.

And since the root word قلب (qaf-lam-ba), means to turn something over and over; he turned the thoughts over and over in his mind meditating what he should do. The word heart is derived, since a heart turns over and over emotions.

Another example is the root نظر (nun-zua-ra), meaning to regard, compare, or examine something intellectually in order to adduce an opinion about it. From these characteristics, the word look is derived.

These examples showcase the difference between the deep meaning of a root and the simplicity of the word derived from it. Insert these simple meanings into the verses and you lose the realization, perception, and the message behind the word."
